Twitter users did not take the comments from Shaw, who serves on several administrative boards of the state government, lightly. “The last two days of outrage expressed against my innocuous tweet on Bangalore bandh has hurt me and pained me to the core.

One day of bandh leads to an economic loss of several thousand crores which impacts the health of the state and its people,” she said.
