The business establishments and market places remained closed and traffic was off the road as the day-long bandh started amid high security arrangements in the winter capital on Monday, officials said.

The bandh has been supported by Jammu Bar Association, Shiv Sena, Jammu State Morcha and several trade and transport organisations.

Large number of policemen have been deployed in the city.

However, there was no untowards incident reported from the city, the police officials said.

JKNPP activists raised anti-working group and anti-Sagir slogans. "The recommendations made by the Working Group are anti-people, fraud, trash and biased. It should be dumped into dustbin without any further discussion," JKNPP Chief Bhim Singh told reporters in Jammu.
