Bharat Bandh 2024: Know what is open and what's closed on August 21

The Reservation Bachao Sangharsh Samiti declared a nationwide Bharat Bandh on August 21, 2024, protesting the SC’s quota ruling.

These services will continue: emergency and ambulance services, hospitals, and police will operate normally. Government offices, banks, and schools will also remain open.

Senior officials are meeting to ensure safety during the Bharat Bandh. Divisional commissioners, district magistrates, and police are prepared to handle potential disruptions.

Public transport is likely to be disrupted, with services either suspended or limited. Private offices may also be closed or operate with reduced staff during the bandh.

Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes groups in Rajasthan back the Bharat Bandh, enhancing its impact and showcasing regional resistance to the Supreme Court's ruling.
