Farmer unions on Wednesday called for a countrywide strike, or Bharat bandh, on March 26, the day their protest against the three farm laws at Delhi’s borders completes four months, reported PTI.
Farmer leader Buta Singh Burjgill said the farmers, along with trade unions, will also protest against the increase in fuel prices and privatisation of Railways on March 15. “We will observe a complete Bharat bandh on March 26, when our protest against the three farm laws completes four months,” he said. “The peaceful bandh will remain effective from morning till evening.”
