The call for bandh was issued by Bapyour Mandal Udhampur, along with other social bodies, seeking justice for the victims and denouncing the act of terror.
The shops, business houses, and schools were closed, and public transport remained off the roads in support of the families of the victims. Official heavy deployment was made in major pockets of Udhampur district to avoid any unwanted incidents during the protest.
