&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Traders across the country have downed their shutters to join the protest against government&#039;s decision to allow foreign direct investment (FDI) in retail.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The impact of the strike has been visible in several cities. In some cities, shopkeepers took out marches demanding a rollback of the government move.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In Maharashtra, around 35 lakh small and medium traders have kept their shops shut in response to the bandh.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;We have received good response for the bandh in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai as traders of the Agriculture Produce Market Committee (APMC) have joined call to support the one-day bandh. Major markets of grain, fruits and vegetables, onion and potato and &#039;kirana&#039; have observed bandh today,&amp;quot; said federation of associations of maharashtra (FAM) president Mohan Gurnani.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In Delhi, big markets like Karol Bagh, Sadar Bazar, Kamla Nagar, Chawri Bazar, Kashmere Gate, Tilak Nagar, Rohini, Krishna Nagar and Greater Kailash M Block remained closed while Sarojini Nagar and INA markets functioned as usual.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
BJP also joined the strike by organising marches and burnt effigies of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit in at least 20 locations of the city.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Most shops and establishments in West Bengal, including the wholesale market in Posta area of Burrabazar, downed their shutters.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In Bangalore, nearly 1 lakh shops are closed due to the strike. Many busy markets wore a deserted look.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Tripura also observed a total shut-down. Official reports said not a single shop was open anywhere in the state.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In Lucknow, Samajwadi Party workers protested on the streets burning effigies. Extending support to the all-India strike, hundreds of Samajwadi workers -- particularly from the party&#039;s youth wing -- gathered near the state assembly and forced their way through the barriers at the site.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The police had to use force to disperse them.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In Himachal Pradesh also traders have responded to the bandh call in a big way.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Workers of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP)in the state and Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) joined the traders to protest the Centre&#039;s FDI decision.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
However, the response to the bandh in Bihar, according to agency reports, has been muted with most of the major markets open.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The ruling NDA in Bihar has extended support to the bandh while Congress and LJP are opposed.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The bandh is so far peaceful, director general of police Abhayanand said.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had said he would not allow 51 per cent FDI in multi-brand retail sector in Bihar.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;(With inputs from agencies)&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Traders across the country have downed their shutters to join the protest against government&#039;s decision to allow foreign direct investment (FDI) in retail.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The impact of the strike has been visible in several cities. In some cities, shopkeepers took out marches demanding a rollback of the government move.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In Maharashtra, around 35 lakh small and medium traders have kept their shops shut in response to the bandh.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;We have received good response for the bandh in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai as traders of the Agriculture Produce Market Committee (APMC) have joined call to support the one-day bandh. Major markets of grain, fruits and vegetables, onion and potato and &#039;kirana&#039; have observed bandh today,&amp;quot; said federation of associations of maharashtra (FAM) president Mohan Gurnani.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In Delhi, big markets like Karol Bagh, Sadar Bazar, Kamla Nagar, Chawri Bazar, Kashmere Gate, Tilak Nagar, Rohini, Krishna Nagar and Greater Kailash M Block remained closed while Sarojini Nagar and INA markets functioned as usual.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
BJP also joined the strike by organising marches and burnt effigies of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit in at least 20 locations of the city.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Most shops and establishments in West Bengal, including the wholesale market in Posta area of Burrabazar, downed their shutters.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In Bangalore, nearly 1 lakh shops are closed due to the strike. Many busy markets wore a deserted look.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Tripura also observed a total shut-down. Official reports said not a single shop was open anywhere in the state.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In Lucknow, Samajwadi Party workers protested on the streets burning effigies. Extending support to the all-India strike, hundreds of Samajwadi workers -- particularly from the party&#039;s youth wing -- gathered near the state assembly and forced their way through the barriers at the site.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The police had to use force to disperse them.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In Himachal Pradesh also traders have responded to the bandh call in a big way.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Workers of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP)in the state and Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) joined the traders to protest the Centre&#039;s FDI decision.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
However, the response to the bandh in Bihar, according to agency reports, has been muted with most of the major markets open.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The ruling NDA in Bihar has extended support to the bandh while Congress and LJP are opposed.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The bandh is so far peaceful, director general of police Abhayanand said.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had said he would not allow 51 per cent FDI in multi-brand retail sector in Bihar.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;(With inputs from agencies)&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

Traders across the country have downed their shutters to join the protest against government&#039;s decision to allow foreign direct investment (FDI) in retail.&amp;nbsp;

Workers of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP)in the state and Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) joined the traders to protest the Centre&#039;s FDI decision.&amp;nbsp;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Traders across the country have downed their shutters to join the protest against government&#039;s decision to allow foreign direct investment (FDI) in retail.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The impact of the strike has been visible in several cities. In some cities, shopkeepers took out marches demanding a rollback of the government move.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In Maharashtra, around 35 lakh small and medium traders have kept their shops shut in response to the bandh.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;We have received good response for the bandh in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai as traders of the Agriculture Produce Market Committee (APMC) have joined call to support the one-day bandh. Major markets of grain, fruits and vegetables, onion and potato and &#039;kirana&#039; have observed bandh today,&amp;quot; said federation of associations of maharashtra (FAM) president Mohan Gurnani.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In Delhi, big markets like Karol Bagh, Sadar Bazar, Kamla Nagar, Chawri Bazar, Kashmere Gate, Tilak Nagar, Rohini, Krishna Nagar and Greater Kailash M Block remained closed while Sarojini Nagar and INA markets functioned as usual.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
BJP also joined the strike by organising marches and burnt effigies of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit in at least 20 locations of the city.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Most shops and establishments in West Bengal, including the wholesale market in Posta area of Burrabazar, downed their shutters.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In Bangalore, nearly 1 lakh shops are closed due to the strike. Many busy markets wore a deserted look.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Tripura also observed a total shut-down. Official reports said not a single shop was open anywhere in the state.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In Lucknow, Samajwadi Party workers protested on the streets burning effigies. Extending support to the all-India strike, hundreds of Samajwadi workers -- particularly from the party&#039;s youth wing -- gathered near the state assembly and forced their way through the barriers at the site.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The police had to use force to disperse them.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In Himachal Pradesh also traders have responded to the bandh call in a big way.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Workers of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP)in the state and Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) joined the traders to protest the Centre&#039;s FDI decision.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
However, the response to the bandh in Bihar, according to agency reports, has been muted with most of the major markets open.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The ruling NDA in Bihar has extended support to the bandh while Congress and LJP are opposed.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The bandh is so far peaceful, director general of police Abhayanand said.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had said he would not allow 51 per cent FDI in multi-brand retail sector in Bihar.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;(With inputs from agencies)&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Traders across the country have downed their shutters to join the protest against government&#039;s decision to allow foreign direct investment (FDI) in retail.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The impact of the strike has been visible in several cities. In some cities, shopkeepers took out marches demanding a rollback of the government move.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In Maharashtra, around 35 lakh small and medium traders have kept their shops shut in response to the bandh.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;We have received good response for the bandh in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai as traders of the Agriculture Produce Market Committee (APMC) have joined call to support the one-day bandh. Major markets of grain, fruits and vegetables, onion and potato and &#039;kirana&#039; have observed bandh today,&amp;quot; said federation of associations of maharashtra (FAM) president Mohan Gurnani.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In Delhi, big markets like Karol Bagh, Sadar Bazar, Kamla Nagar, Chawri Bazar, Kashmere Gate, Tilak Nagar, Rohini, Krishna Nagar and Greater Kailash M Block remained closed while Sarojini Nagar and INA markets functioned as usual.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
BJP also joined the strike by organising marches and burnt effigies of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit in at least 20 locations of the city.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Most shops and establishments in West Bengal, including the wholesale market in Posta area of Burrabazar, downed their shutters.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In Bangalore, nearly 1 lakh shops are closed due to the strike. Many busy markets wore a deserted look.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Tripura also observed a total shut-down. Official reports said not a single shop was open anywhere in the state.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Workers of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP)in the state and Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) joined the traders to protest the Centre&#039;s FDI decision.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;

FDI protest: Traders' shutdown complete in many states

-The Times of India   Traders across the country have downed their shutters to join the protest against government's decision to allow foreign direct investment (FDI) in retail.  The impact of the strike has been visible in several cities. In some cities, shopkeepers took out marches demanding a rollback of the government move.  In Maharashtra, around 35 lakh small and medium traders have kept their shops shut in response to the bandh.  "We have received good response for the bandh in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai as traders of the Agriculture Produce Market Committee (APMC) have joined call to support the one-day bandh. Major markets of grain, fruits and vegetables, onion and potato and 'kirana' have observed bandh today," said federation of associations of maharashtra (FAM) president Mohan Gurnani.  In Delhi, big markets like Karol Bagh, Sadar Bazar, Kamla Nagar, Chawri Bazar, Kashmere Gate, Tilak Nagar, Rohini, Krishna Nagar and Greater Kailash M Block remained closed while Sarojini Nagar and INA markets functioned as usual.  BJP also joined the strike by organising marches and burnt effigies of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit in at least 20 locations of the city.  Most shops and establishments in West Bengal, including the wholesale market in Posta area of Burrabazar, downed their shutters.  In Bangalore, nearly 1 lakh shops are closed due to the strike. Many busy markets wore a deserted look.  Tripura also observed a total shut-down. Official reports said not a single shop was open anywhere in the state.  In Lucknow, Samajwadi Party workers protested on the streets burning effigies. Extending support to the all-India strike, hundreds of Samajwadi workers -- particularly from the party's youth wing -- gathered near the state assembly and forced their way through the barriers at the site.  The police had to use force to disperse them.  In Himachal Pradesh also traders have responded to the bandh call in a big way.  Workers of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP)in the state and Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) joined the traders to protest the Centre's FDI decision.  However, the response to the bandh in Bihar, according to agency reports, has been muted with most of the major markets open.  The ruling NDA in Bihar has extended support to the bandh while Congress and LJP are opposed.  The bandh is so far peaceful, director general of police Abhayanand said.  Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had said he would not allow 51 per cent FDI in multi-brand retail sector in Bihar.  (With inputs from agencies)
