Jharkhand witnessed a shutdown yesterday as more than 20 organisations called for policy-making that was both by and for the local people, who are predominantly tribal
Ranchi was among the worst-affected districts in the state in the 12-hour shutdown. Supporters of the shutdown call attacked about 20 vehicles, and commuters had a hard time. The roads wore a deserted look, and shops remained closed.
Protestors were demanding that the state frame policy that would benefit the people of the state, offering them jobs and other services. The protestors seek that the government form a committee that would apply local policy.
