Life will come to a halt in State on September 27
The Left Democratic Front (LDF) and the United Democratic Front (UDF) have called a 24-hour general strike on September 27 in solidarity with the Bharath Bandh initiated by national-level farmers’ organisations.
With the ruling front and Opposition throwing their weight behind the bandh, life is likely to come to a halt in the State for nearly a day on Monday. Both fronts have exempted emergency services, milk distribution, medical stores, clinics, hospitals, COVID-19 vaccination centres, television channels, newspapers, and newspaper distribution agents from the ambit of the bandh.
