Nagpur Today Time Check: 11:30 am – 1 st Quarter
Most parts of the city seems to have a normal look. Life is going on as usual. In the busy shopping areas, rallies, protests or andolans weren’t seen. Traders and shop owners at most places chose to fall in line with the Bandh call which was obvious seeing their shutters down. The bandh hasn’t affected public transport. Buses, cycle rickshaws, auto rickshaws etc. were plying on the roads. City traffic though has decreased as probably quite a few people have chosen to stay indoors. There isn’t any untoward activity noticed. Madhav Nagar, Ravi Nagar, Civil Lines, Laxmi Nagar, Shankar Nagar, Ambazari Road, Dharampeth, Gokulpeth, Law College and other primary shopping areas seem to have a slight deserted look as most shops are closed. Hospitals, Colleges, Schools, Institutions, Government offices Petrol Pumps and certain eateries are open. Anticipating colleges and schools to be closed, few students were seen outside campus still hoping for a day off.
