Rail, Road Transport Likely To Be Affected Due To Bharat Bandh Tomorrow

According to the Samkyukta Kisan Morcha, the nationwide shutdown will start at 6 am and it will be in force up to 6 pm across the country on March 26 which marks four months of the farmers' agitation on Delhi's three borders.

Rail and road transportation services are likely to be affected and markets may remain closed in parts of the country on Friday as farmer unions protesting against the three agri laws have called a complete ''Bharat Bandh'', even as it will not be observed in four poll-bound states and Puducherry. According to the Samkyukta Kisan Morcha, the nationwide shutdown will start at 6 am and it will be in force up to 6 pm across the country on March 26 which marks four months of the farmers' agitation on Delhi's three borders -- Singhu, Ghazipur and Tikri. Senior farmer leader Balbir Singh Rajewal said that road and rail transport will be blocked, claiming that markets will also remain closed. The Morcha, which is an umbrella body of protesting farm unions, said that the ''bandh'' will also be observed in the national capital.
