Ranchi/Jamshedpur/Ramgarh/Gumla/Sindri: Vehicular movement across the state, particularly along the national highways, suffered on Saturday because of the three-hour chakka jam from 12pm-3pm called by various farmers’ unions and supported by the ruling coalition government, Left parties and members of different rights groups against the new farm laws.
In Ranchi, Congress MLA and state agriculture minister Badal Patralekh led the bandh by staging a sit-in at Booty More along the Ranchi-Hazaribagh stretch of NH-33. Workers of JMM, RJD, Left parties and others, too, blocked the streets here. At Piska More, Namkum and other entry points to the city witnessed similar scenes as trucks and buses were forced to halt. Patralekh said the protests will intensify until the Union government repeals the laws.
