| Jammu observes peaceful bandh | | | Jammu, Nov 06 : A complete but peaceful bandh paralyzed the normal life in Jammu here today on the very first day of re-opening of Civil secretariat in winter capital of the State.
Maximum business establishments remained closed while the public transport also did not ply.
Call for bandh was given by BJP and Refugee United Front while a number of other organizations had also extended their support to it in protest against alleged neglect of Jammu region by the congress-led coalition government.
