Bharat Bandh Tomorrow: Check School, College Closure List

Bharat Bandh Tomorrow: A combined platform of ten central trade unions has called for a statewide strike on July 9 that will involve up to 25 crore workers from the formal and informal sectors. Farmers and agricultural laborers from rural India will also participate in the “Bharat Bandh.” The strike is an attempt to protest the government’s policies, which the unions say are anti-worker and pro-corporate.

Major union leaders will take part in this walkout, including representatives from the Indian National Trade Union Congress (INTUC), the All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC), the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU), and the Hind Mazdoor Sabha (HMS). More than 25 crore workers would participate, including those in manufacturing, banking, insurance, construction, mining, transportation, and agriculture, according to Amarjeet Kaur of AITUC. 27 lakh power workers will also join the protests against the privatization of two electricity distribution corporations in Uttar Pradesh. Many industries, including banking, transportation, power, etc., are anticipated to be impacted by the strike. As a result, the openings and closings of schools worry parents and other stakeholders.
