Vikas Agrawal, a loca trader, said the government's decision to transfer Singh in less than two years of his tenure did not go down well with the masses. "When some officer wants to deliver in a district like Simdega, which has always been considered a less motivating district, the government should allow them to work properly," he said.Another trader, Ajay Sarawgi, member of the Simdega Chamber of Commerce, said crime rate had fallen significantly and the DC had was always available to the common man. "We had an opportunity to convey our grievances to him at the Janta Durbar and most of them were adressed properly," he said.Simdega SP Rajiv Ranjan Singh said the bandh was limited to shops and market remaining closed during the day. "There were some protests by the traders and they closed their establishments, but in general there was no bandh," he said.
