Shopkeeprs in Rajkot’s Samakantha and Pedak road areas observed complete strike against police’s failure in nabbing anti-social elements including Bali Dangar who fired several rounds in the air from his gun here two days back.

Shopkeeprs had declared strike today when Chief Minister Narendra Modi was visiting the city. On Friday evening, the local Police tried their best to convince shopkeepers not to go on strike when the Chief Minister was scheduled to visit the city. However turning down the requests made by police, the bazaars in Samakantha area went on complete strike.

It should be mentioned that after Police Commissioner Sinha left Rajkot, the situation of law and order has deteriorated in the city.
