The bandh call given by the various Dalits' welfare organistations has hit the normal life in Hubballi-Dharwad on Monday. Business establishments, schools and colleges remained closed.
The bandh was called in the protest against the rape of dalit girl in Vijaypura, Union Minister Anant Kumar Hegde's statement on constitution and the Bhima-Koregaon incident in Maharashtra.
The bandh gained momentum, as the protesters burnt tyres to block roads at several places in the twin cities. The protestors also hurled stones on the vehicles and the control room at the Old bus stand.
More details awaited.
