The nationwide bharat bandh declared today by BJP-led NDA and other oppositon parties against the reform measures announced by the government last week.
According to NDTV: The protests against the reforms began early today morning in some of the areas like Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. Workers belonging to BJP's Yuva Morcha blocked three trains at Patna railway station and in Darbhanga, CPI(ML) workers stopped the Ganga Sagar Express. In Allahabad, Samajwadi Party workers staged demonstrations on railway tracks. There are also reports of trains being stopped in Bhubaneswar in Odisha. In the national capital, public transport is running smoothly so far. Metro trains are also on time.
Karnataka meanwhile has seen partial effect of the bandh call so far. While buses are off the road, autos are plying. Trains are also running on time. There have been no protests so far.
Mumbai and the rest of Maharashtra is likely to be unaffected by the bandh call due to Ganesh Chaturthi festivities. Both the MNS and the Shiv Sena and even the BJP have said that they will not enforce the nationwide strike in the state because of the ongoing festival. While MNS supports FDI in retail, BJP and Shiv Sena are opposed to it. So public transport, malls, super markets all other services are likely to function normally. Schools and colleges also will stay open.
