Bharat Bandh: Amid the ongoing strike by Samyukta Kisan Morcha and Bharatiya Kisan Union, CAIT s national secretary general raises concerns about losing ₹300 crore worth of business so far for Delhi.
The Bharatiya Kisan Union, part of SKM, had earlier called for a Bharat Bandh on February 16, citing a host of unmet demands of farmers. "Various programs like protest demonstrations, etc are proposed by SKM and various organisations for Friday. Hence, Section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) is implemented on February 16," the police said in a statement.
The BKP, which has been protesting against the local authorities functioning under the state government, said it has extended support to the Bharat Bandh.
