As it happened: Tamil Nadu bandh passes off peacefully

A dawn-to-dusk bandh, called by several farmers and traders bodies in protest against the violence targeting Tamils in Karnataka and also to seek Cauvery water for the State, is on today across Tamil Nadu amid tight security and support of Opposition parties.

As those who had given the bandh call have said a series of protests, including “road and rail rokos”, were held, even as thousands of police personnel are on duty across the State to maintain law and order.

Police said tight vigil was being maintained and no attempts to mar public peace or disruption of free movement of transportation — on road or rail — would be allowed.

Barring the ruling AIADMK, its allies and trade unions affiliated, all other Opposition parties, including the DMK, Congress, DMDK, MDMK, Left parties and the PMK, are supporting the bandh.

Bharat Bandh LIVE: West Bengal, Kerala, UP worst hit as trade unions go on strike

The Left-affiliated central trade unions began their nationwide strike to protest against ‘anti-labour policies’ of the government. Essential services, including transport and banking, are likely to be hit in several states as central trade unions have rejected the government’s appeal and decided to enforce a strike on Friday.

RSS-affiliated Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS), however, has decided not to join the strike as it believes that the government has accepted its demands.

The strike has been called by central trade unions such as Congress’s INTUC, and Left’s CITU and AITUC. Essential services such as banking, public transport and telecom will be hit. Commuters will have a tough time as many autorickshaw unions in big cities such as Delhi, Bengaluru and Hyderabad have decided to keep off the roads on Friday. Chakka jam has been planned in 11 states including Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka.
