contents The dynamics of interacting domain walls, regarded as a system of particles which are biased to move towards their nearest neighbours and annihilate when they meet, have been studied in the recent past. We study the effect of the presence of a fraction $r$ of quenched impurities (which act as rigid walkers) on the dynamics. Here, in case two domain walls or one impurity and one domain wall happen to be on the same site, both get simultaneously annihilated. It is found that for any non-zero value of $r$, the dynamical behaviour changes as the surviving fraction of particles $ρ(t)$ attains a constant value. $ρ(t)t^α$ shows a universal behaviour when plotted against $r^βt$ with $α, β$ values depending on whether the particles are rigid or nonrigid. Also, the values differ for the biased and unbiased cases. The time scale associated with the particle decay obtained in several ways shows that it varies with $r$ in a power law manner with a universal exponent.
