A two-day Bharat Bandh called by a joint forum of central trade unions against the government’s alleged wrong policies began on March 28, disrupting banking services and public transport in some parts of the country.

As many as 10 central trade unions (CTUs) have joined hands to protest the government’s “anti-farmer, anti-workers and anti-people policies”. About 20 crore workers are said to take part in the shutdown called by trade unions such as INTUC, AITUC, HMS, CITU, and SEWA.
