Nationwide Bharat Bandh Disrupts Transport and Services

Nationwide Bharat Bandh Disrupts Transport and Services

A nationwide strike, known as a Bharat Bandh, brought India's transportation systems, markets, schools, and banks to a grinding halt on Thursday, leaving thousands of workers, farmers, and citizens stranded. The protest, called by central trade unions and farmers' groups in response to the government's policies, particularly the new labor codes and the India-US trade deal, marked a significant escalation in the ongoing struggle against the country's economic policies.
