A bandh in Kalaburagi on December 24, organized by the Samvidhana Rakshana Horata Samiti, protested Union Home Minister Amit Shah's remarks about Dr. Ambedkar. The city was largely deserted, with businesses, schools, and public transport shut down. Protesters gathered at key locations, burning an effigy of Shah and demanding his resignation and an apology. The demonstration was peaceful, with no reported violence, but it caused significant disruptions in transportation, particularly affecting bus services to and from Yadgir. In Yadgir, bus services were suspended as a precaution. Passengers faced challenges reaching Kalaburagi, with many needing to travel to the outskirts of the city.
