Farmers protesting against the Centre’s agriculture reform laws have issued a call for ‘Bharat Bandh’ on March 26.

The Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM), an umbrella body of 40 farmers' unions, on Saturday invited trade unions, transporter and retailers associations and other mass organisations for a meeting to plan the nationwide 'Bharat Bandh' on March 26. The meeting, which will take place on Wednesday, seeks to take suggestions from the several organisations on conducting the bandh in a "better" way, read the letter issued by the SKM. March 26 marks the completion of four months of the ongoing farmers protest at the Delhi borders -- started on November 26.
