Bharat Bandh Call Sees No Impact in Assam

The Bharat Bandh called by various groups over community-based reservation had no significant impact in Assam. Schools, offices, and businesses operated normally. Traffic and railway services were uninterrupted. Organized by twenty-one groups, the bandh aimed to oppose the Supreme Court's decision on SC-ST reservation, which they argue harms reservation principles.

The Bharat Bandh called by a coalition of groups over community-based reservation went unnoticed in Assam on Wednesday, as daily life continued uninterrupted across the state.

Schools, offices, and business establishments reported nearly full attendance. Vehicular traffic and long-distance buses operated on their regular schedules without any hitches.

Railway services remained unaffected, with trains running on time. The protest, organized by twenty-one groups, was against the Supreme Court's August 1 ruling on SC-ST reservation, which they claim undermines the fundamental principles of the reservation system.
