The Bharat Bandh called by the Congress Monday against rising fuel prices evoked a mixed response in Himachal Pradesh.
Many shops were shut till noon in Lower Bazar, Middle Bazar, Ram Bazar and Lakkar Bazar in Shimla.
Himachal Pradesh Congress Committee (HPCC) president Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu claimed the bandh was successful as shopkeepers closed their shops to protest against the spiralling prices of petroleum products and other essential commodities.
As per reports, some shops and business establishments remained closed in Solan, Chamba, Sirmaur, Dharamshala, Kangra, Palampur, Mandi, Rampur, Kullu, Una and Hamirpur.
