Jharkhand Bandh Grips Chaibasa: BJP-JMM Clash Over Lathi Charge

Chaibasa, Jharkhand – A widespread ‘Kolhan Bandh’ called by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) significantly disrupted normal life in the West Singhbhum district on Wednesday. The shutdown was organized in protest against a recent lathi charge incident involving tribal protesters. Streets remained deserted, with most businesses observing a voluntary closure from the morning. BJP workers mobilized on the ground, chanting slogans against local administration and the state government. The impact of the bandh was visibly evident in areas like Chakradharpur, Jagannathpur, and Sonua, underscoring the public’s response to the incident.
