Initially, the opposition parties gave an impression that the day will be marked by nationwide strike and protests against Narendra Modi government's decision to scrap Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 currency notes on November 8.
However, later several parties--including the Congress and the TMC--decided to stay away from observing a bandh.
Except for the Left-ruling states like Kerala and Tripura, there was no sign of a shutdown in any part of the country.
