Hundreds of VHP supporters blocked important arterial roads at Vakola, Malad and Borivili in northwest Mumbai and in the northeast suburb of Ghatkopar that caused difficulties to officegoers in reaching their workplaces, they said.

The police have, however, dispersed the crowd and ensured a smooth traffic flow.

Nobody was reported injured in the incidents of stone pelting and road blockades, police said.

The VHP and the BJP had yesterday called for a nationwide bandh protesting against the Jammu and Kashmir government's decision to revoke proposed grant of land to Amarnath shrine board.
