Places like Hyderabad Karnataka and Mangaluru, however, did not see much support for the bandh. Commuters had a tough time reaching their destination.

In Bengaluru, transport system was thrown out of gear as buses, auto-rickshaws and taxis remained off the roads. Hotels and petrol bunks also remained closed.
