Puducherry: Shops and other commercial establishments here remained closed today in response to a day-long bandh called on the Cauvery issue.

The call for a dawn-to-dusk bandh was given by the Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) to press the Centre to form the Cauvery Management Board (CMB).

Officials said that auto-rickshaw and private bus services were hit in Puducherry, but inter-state Tamil Nadu government buses operated as usual.

Private schools declared a holiday while attendance in government schools was low. Office attendance was normal, they said.

No untoward incident has been reported till now, police said.
