Most
of the organizations, especially those involved in transportation have extended
their full support to the Bharat Bandh called by BJP led NDA government.
Last
Tuesday BJP called for the Bandh on Thursday to force the centre to roll back
the hike in diesel prices and restrictions on subsidized cooking gas. The Bandh
is also aimed at protecting against the introduction of FDI in retail.
The
BJP has appealed to the public to take part in the Bharat Bandh called by them.
They have also requested the labour and transport organizations, industries,
shops, and other commercial establishments to take active part in the Bandh.
Associations
involved in travel and transports like the Bangalore Tourist Taxi owners
association, Private Bus Owner’s association have declared that they will take
part in the Bandh and will extend full support.
Though
there is going to be a complete shutdown tomorrow, essential services will be
available to the public. Emergency services will not be affected at all.
Auto
rickshaws may go off roads though they do not support the bandh. The Railways
will be working as usual. The Namma Metro service intend not to close but again
it depends on the situation.
The
police and the paramilitary force will beef up the security in major areas. About
17000 police personals will be on the road to ensure law and order. Policemen
in mufti will also be deployed and any incidents during the Bandh will be video
recorded. This will help them to nab the miscreants.
Additionally
30 platoons of KSRP and CAR officials will be deployed across the city. Anybody
trying disrupting the essential services will be seriously dealt with.
The
public transports like the BMTC and KSRTC have not taken any decision about
their services on the day of the Bandh. One of the officials has stated that
the service will not be affected. There is going to be an enough security in
major bus terminals.
Most
of the educational institutions have already declared holiday on account of the
Bharat Bandh on Thursday.
