The Government of India deployed 57 battalions of British troops to restore order . </Dd> <P> At the national level the lack of leadership meant the ability to galvanise rebellion was limited . The movement had a local impact in some areas . especially at Satara in Maharashtra, Talcher in Odisha, and Midnapore . In Tamluk and Contai subdivisions of Midnapore, the local populace were successful in establishing parallel governments, which continued to function, until Gandhi personally requested the leaders to disband in 1944 . A minor uprising took place in Ballia, now the easternmost district of Uttar Pradesh . People overthrew the district administration, broke open the jail, released the arrested Congress leaders and established their own independent rule . It took weeks before the British could reestablish their writ in the district . Of special importance in Saurashtra (in western Gujarat) was the role of the region's' baharvatiya' tradition (i.e. going outside the law) which abetted the sabotage activities of the movement there . In rural west Bengal, the Quit India Movement was fueled by peasants' resentment against the new war taxes and the forced rice exports . There was open resistance to the point of rebellion in 1942 until the great famine of 1943 suspended the movement . </P> <P> One of the important achievements of the movement was to keep the Congress party united through all the trials and tribulations that followed . The British, already alarmed by the advance of the Japanese army to the India - Burma border, responded by imprisoning Gandhi . All the members of the Party's Working Committee (national leadership) were imprisoned as well . Due to the arrest of major leaders, a young and till then relatively unknown Aruna Asaf Ali presided over the AICC session on 9 August and hoisted the flag; later the Congress party was banned . These actions only created sympathy for the cause among the population . Despite lack of direct leadership, large protests and demonstrations were held all over the country . Workers remained absent en masse and strikes were called . Not all demonstrations were peaceful, at some places bombs exploded, government buildings were set on fire, electricity was cut and transport and communication lines were severed . </P>
