The Farmers agitation will complete 120 days as of Friday. The Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM), an umbrella body of farmer unions, will observe ‘Bharat Bandh’ on Friday.
Interestingly, 26 March 2021 marks four months of farmers’ agitation on the borders of the national capital against the three Central farm laws.
AP CM Jaganmohan Reddy has supported the Bandh and the APSRTC will not run the services till noon on the 26th. The Bharat Bandh on 26 March 2021 will begin at 6 am and end at 6 pm.
The Telangana Government is yet to respond to the proposed Bandh. During this period, all road and rail transport, markets and other public places will be shut across the country.
Farmer leader Buta Singh Burjgill had earlier said: “We will observe a complete Bharat bandh on March 26, when our protest against the three farm laws completes four months.
The peaceful bandh will remain effective from morning till evening.” Farmers also plan to burn copies of the new farm laws during ‘Holika Dahan’ on March 28.
Notably, the SKM has clarified that the states and union territories where Assembly Elections are going to take place will be exempt from Bharat Bandh on 26 March.
