Business establishments and government offices also remained shut through the day but normalcy returned right after the end of bandh period at 3:30PM, official reports said.
The AYO had deployed volunteers in all the strategic locations and points restricting the movement of vehicles and even pedestrians while the Kohima and Dimapur district administration had also positioned police and personnel of Indian Reserve Battalion to thwart any incident, the reports said.
Today being the last day of filing nomination, AYO issued bandh call last night, calculating that some political parties, specially the ruling NPF and other contestants might use police protection to enter into the Returning Officer's office to file nominations.
However, no parties and candidates came forward to file nominations while the three areas wore a deserted look with vehicles remaining off road and also the pedestrians staying in doors.
AYO President Neinguvoto Krose called upon all Angami villages and population excepting the elderly and juveniles for preparation to assist AYO for a full-scale public movement against the government's decision to extend date to file nomination for willing candidates upto Monday.
