Kanpur, Aug 09: The day-long bandh called by a
traders body to protest frequent power cuts in the industrial
city evoked partial response today.
Traders held demonstrations and burnt the effigies of
Uttar Pradesh power minister at various places to protest
frequent power cuts, police said.
Trading activities were adversely affected as shops and
business establishments remained closed in most parts of the
city, a spokesman of the Kanpur Udyog Vyapar Mandal claimed.
However, former BJP MLA and president of the Uttar
Pradesh Udyog Vyapar Mandal claimed that the bandh evoked
minimal response as a majority of the traders had not
responded to the bandh call.
