Maoists’ shutdown disrupts normal life in Gaya

Gaya: Normal life came to a halt in most parts of Bihar on Monday due to a shutdown called by rebel Maoists. A tourist in Gaya, Surya Pratap, expressed inconvenience caused due to the shutdown. Maoists are rebels who try to sink deep roots and form links after decades of neglect. The Maoists, who say they are fighting for the rights of the poor and landless, control some of India’s mineral-rich areas and operate in large swathes of the eastern, central and southern countryside.
