The anti-corruption campaign of social activist Anna Hazare has stirred people of Shimla too. Traders in the hill town observed a one-day Shimla bandh and shops remained shut in support of Anna's crusade on Wednesday.
Traders and members of Beopar Mandal Shimla, submitted a memorandum to President of India through Deputy Commissioner, Shimla, pleading for the President's intervention in the matter of having a strong Jan Lokpal Bill while urging her to take concrete steps to diffuse the present stalemate. President of Shimla Beopar Mandal, Ramesh Sood said, "The call for market bandh in Shimla had been given to support Anna and his team for a strong Jan Lokpal Bill and as a show of support for the Gandhian who has been on indefinite fast." He added that a copy of the memorandum has been sent to the President of India by post. The traders also took out a procession holding banners and tricolours to show solidarity with Shimla Team Anna.
