Eight civilians and 84 police officials were injured in yesterday's violence during 'Bharat band', Haryana police said today.

Also, 100 persons have been arrested for attempting to cause damage to public property and indulge in acts of violence in various parts of the state, they said.

Minor damage was caused to 24 government and 60 private vehicles during the protest, Director General of Police, BS Sandhu said.

There were reports of stone-pelting on two trains, he said, adding that six shops suffered minor damage.

Normal life was paralysed in Haryana while rail and road traffic too was adversely affected as Dalit organisations staged protests alleging "dilution" of the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities) Act as part of the nationwide bandh call.
