Nagpur, January 21: Normal life was paralysed on Wednesday following the Vidarbha bandh (shutdown) called by organisations demanding a separate state of Vidarbha.
Agitators took to the streets defying prohibitory orders. More than 200 people – including 55 in Nagpur – were detained for violating the orders.
Four pro-Vidarbha youths tried to climb up a BSNL communication tower but were forced to come down by the police.
