Compiling data of bandhs called by various students' organizations and associations, most of which were confined to Itanagar and Naharlagun, the Arunachal Citizens Right (ACR) claimed that 1068 hours were lost due to bandhs since 2009.
The NGO also said financial losses incurred due to the 55 bandhs have resulted in the loss of Rs 3431.73 crore in terms of state domestic product, adjusted to inflation.
