CPI(M) activists take out a rally from Jagadamba Junction to Suryabaugh
Cyclone Gulab, which brought copious rain to the city and district, also contributed to the success of the Bharat Bandh with most people choosing to remain indoors instead of going out in the rain, on Monday. RTC buses were off the roads till 1 p.m. as the State government also supported the bandh, organised to protest against the ‘anti-people’ policies of the Modi government.
A rally was taken out under the aegis of the CPI(M) Jagadamba zone committee from the Jagadamba Junction to Suryabaugh.

The Centre has rejected reports that the definition of the Aravalli hills was changed to permit large-scale mining, citing a Supreme Court-ordered freeze on new leases. It said a court-approved framework will bring over 90% of the Aravalli region under protected areas and strengthen safeguards against illegal mining. The clarification follows controversy over the “100-metre” criterion used to define hills across states.
