Bandh supporters have blocked the main roads at various places including Shahid Dwar in Lakhisarai district. During this, the protesters raised strong slogans against the central government. Bandh supporters allege that the Election Commission is getting the complete voter revision work done in Bihar at the behest of the central government. They say that this process is unfair to the poor, exploited and deprived sections, due to which their political voice is being suppressed. The protesters have expressed their protest by taking to the streets with their demands, due to which local traffic is getting affected. Police force is present on the spot to control the situation, but there is no decrease in the enthusiasm of the protesters.
