Rail and road transportation services are likely to be affected and markets may remain closed in parts of the country on Friday in view of the “Bharat Bandh”, or countrywide shutdown, called by farmer unions protesting against the three agriculture laws, reported PTI. The shutdown will not be observed in the four poll-bound states of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal and Assam and the Union Territory of Puducherry.
The 12-hour shutdown will be in force till 6 pm across the country, according to Samyukta Kisan Morcha, the umbrella body of the protesting unions. The bandh marks four months of the farmers’ agitation at Delhi’s three borders – Singhu, Ghazipur and Tikri.
Protestors blocked the Ghazipur border between New Delhi and Uttar Pradesh and GT Road and railway track near Shahpur in Haryana on Friday morning. Vehicular movement was disrupted in parts of Punjab and Haryana, reported The Hindu. Public transport, including taxis and buses, also stayed off the roads.
