More than 600 people, including Congress leaders and workers, were detained during Friday's bandh call given by the party demanding resignation of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi over IPS officer D G Vanzara's letter. Tight security is being maintained across the state to prevent any untoward incidence. Over 60,000 police and other security personnel have been deployed across the state to maintain law and order situation in the wake of bandh call. Also twenty-four State Reserve Police Force (SRPF) and six Rapid Action Force (RAF) battalions have been directed to be on alert to assist state police.
Congress workers were out on the streets to enforce the shutdown, which has evoked a mixed response in the state. The party workers and supporters tried to stop buses and trains form commuting here, but police detained them. In the old city in Ahmedabad, Vadaj and some eastern parts, 80 per cent establishments were closed early morning. According to reports coming from different cities and district headquarters, police detained several Congress leaders and workers, who came out in support of the bandh.
