Uttar Pradesh: Ballia bandh in protest against arrest of three scribes evokes good response

Except for incidents of exchange of heated arguments between the protesters and police, the agitation remained peaceful. The SPSM, which gave the bandh call in protest against the arrest of three journalists, who claimed to have exposed the leak of the UP Board intermediate exam paper that led to cancellation of this exam in 24 districts on March 30, enjoyed support of the unions of traders, lawyers, teachers and students.
