Normal life was disrupted in North Eastern States of Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh due to a 12-hour bandh called by North East Students Organisation. 

The bandh was organised to protest influx of illegal Bangledeshi migrants. They were also protesting against the harassment of students from the region in other parts of the country.

Our Correspondents report that shops, business esablishments, government and private offices apart from banks and educational institutions were mostly closed.

The bandh was supported by several other organisations from the region. Police has intensified patrolling in Dimapur town as a precautionary measure following a group clash in the Thahekhu village in Nagaland.

Addressing a rally in Guwahati this evening, the leaders of Student Organisations called for immediate detection and deportation of illegal Bangladeshis from North East.
