Seraikela: Bharat bandh failed to have any impact on normal life in Seraikela-Kharsawan as various government and private offices, establishments, schools, colleges and shops remained open like any other day. Seraikela market and shops situated on the main road were open since morning. People turned up at public places in the evening in large numbers, caring little for the bandh call. However, police had beefed up security in view of the nationwide bandh call.
