7 September Bharat Bandh

The trade union wings of the major parties, including the Congress, have declared Bharat bandh on September 7 to protest against rise in price of daily commodities. A 24-hour bandh would be organised all over the country. Emegency services will be kept out of Bharat bandh on 7 September. Most interesting feature of this bandh is that Congress affiliated INTUC would participate in the
7 September Bharat Bandh.

Most of the citizens of India consider bandh as an useless weapon, still there should be some issues on which bandh is organized.

Main issues on 7 September bharat bandh

Government's wrong economic policies.
Disinvestment in the PSUs
Unkept promise of a welfare scheme for the unorganised sector.

All these points could have been discussed in parliament. Last Bharat Bandh was on July 5 – Monday. Normally all parties call bandh normally on Monday. This is an exception this time that the bandh is on Tuesday.

Bandh and West Bengal

We can predict the result of 7 September bharat bandh in West Bengal right now.

Operations at the airport would be affected.

Two important railheads in the State – Howrah and Sealdah – would look deserted.
The industrial units at Howrah, Bankura, Malda, Murshidabad and Bardhaman districts and the tea gardens of North Bengal would remain closed.

Banking service would be disturbed.

IT sector at Salt Lake won't be spared.

Private vehicles at places would be stopped and passengers would be dragged out of taxis.

State administration would declare at the end of bandh that strike was peaceful.

Leaders would declare at the end that 7 September Bharat bandh is successful. Here is a question regarding the meaning of bandh successful. Does it mean that normal life was totally paralysed or the issues of bandh are solved?

Trinamool Congress has opposed the 7 September Bharat Bandh.
