Normal life ground to a halt in Bihar Thursday, with Opposition RJD's dawn-to-dusk state-wide shutdown to protest rising prices of essential items evoking a total response. Thousands of party workers blocked highways, rail tracks and bridges. Roads in Patna, Gaya, Nawada and other major towns in the state were deserted. Only a few private vehicles were seen. RJD supporters blocked Mahatma Gandhi Setu, a bridge over the Ganges in Patna that connects south Bihar to the north.
Schools, colleges, shops and other business establishments are closed.
