Bharat Bandh: Nationwide strike over SC-ST reservation verdict
A nationwide strike, known as “Bharat Bandh,” took place across the country in response to a recent Supreme Court ruling on SC/ST reservations.
The Reservation Bachao Sangharsh Samiti announced the Bharat Bandh as a mark of protest against the SC’s ruling on SC/ST reservations.
The Patna Police baton charged the people protesting in support of a day-long ‘Bharat Bandh’ on Wednesday against the SC’s recent judgement.
An atmosphere similar to lockdown is also being seen in Rajasthan’s Bikaner district.
The people from the SC/ST community are monitoring by forming groups to make the shutdown successful.
The police administration is also keeping a close watch on the area with full alertness so that no unusual incident takes place.
The SC/ST people took out a procession from Kote Gate to the collector’s office.
The impact of the bandh is also being seen in Jharkhand’s capital city, Ranchi.
The roads of Harmu Chowk, Kathal Mode, and Chapu Toli Chowk, have been completely blocked. The bandh supporters are protesting by burning tyres on the road.
