Bharat Bandh called by trade unions today: Are buses, metro, cab services affected in Bengaluru?

Bengaluru: The forum of central trade unions and their allies from sectors such as banking, insurance, postal services, mining, and construction are slated to participate in the “Bharat Bandh” called on Wednesday.

The strike has been called to protest against what they describe as government’s “anti-worker policies”. 

However, essential services will be undisturbed and transport services such as cabs, autos and Metro rail are expected to be operational in Bengaluru. 

Senior police officials in Bengaluru said they have made necessary arrangements. “As per the High Court orders, no protests will be allowed in the city, except at Freedom Park. As of now, the protest will take place only at Freedom Park, where adequate security is in place. If needed additional force will be deployed,” an officer from the Bengaluru police told DH.
