Deogarh: Life came to a standstill in Deogarh district today following a 12-hour bandh call observed by Rengali Basachyuta Sangram Samiti pressing the government to fulfil a five-point charter of demands.

While shops and business establishments downed shutters during the bandh observation which started at around 6 am in the morning and will continue till 6 pm, schools and colleges also remained closed.

Demanding, immediate disbursal of the compensation to the Rengali dam displaced families and criticising the government for its inordinate delay in fulfilling their legitimate demands, the members of the Samiti resorted to road blockade at several places. Commuters faced a tough time due to disruption of road traffic completely during the band observation.

The displaced families have warned to intensify the stir in the coming days if the government fails to fulfil their demands immediately.
