BATHINDA: Despite some reservations by some trade union and transporters to defer the call of Bharat Bandh on March 26 in light of the Holi festival, the Sanyukt Kisan Morcha has decided to go ahead with the call of Bharat Bandh on that day.
The morcha leaders made it clear that the bandh will be for the entire day from 6AM to 6PM. The morcha asked all the organisations to make earnest efforts to make the bandh call a success.
The decision was finalised in a meeting of kisan morcha leaders held with representatives of trade unions from organised and unorganized sectors, traders, arhtiya associations, workers unions including agricultural workers, transporter associations, teachers, youth and students associations at Singhu border on Wednesday.
Three senior BJP leaders including president J.P. Nadda campaigned in West Bengal on Tuesday and raked up religion as a poll plank. Mr. Nadda, who held a road show and addressed a public meeting in Bankura, wondered why Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee announced a lockdown on the day of foundation stone laying of Ram Temple in August 2020 but lifted it on the day of muharram.
Delhi remained the most polluted capital city in the world but India, on the whole, had improved its average annual PM 2.5 (particulate matter) levels higher in 2020 than in 2019, according to a report from IQ Air, a Swiss air quality technology company, specialising in protection against airborne pollutants, and developing air quality monitoring and air cleaning products.
