Bangalore Bandh on September 11: Private transport to be off the roads
Bengaluru, September 10, 2023: The Karnataka State Private Transport Association (KSPA) has called for a Bangalore Bandh on September 11, 2023. The Bangalore Bandh is being held in protest against the state government's Shakti scheme, which provides free bus rides for women in non-premium buses.
The KSPA has 32,000 private vehicles under its umbrella. The association claims that the Shakti scheme has led to a significant loss in revenue for private bus operators. The association is demanding that the state government compensate for the losses.
The bandh is expected to have a significant impact on the city's transportation system. Private taxis, cabs, buses, and cars are all expected to be off of on the roads tomorrow. This will make it difficult for people to get around the city.
The following services are expected to be available on September 11, 2023:
- Essential services such as hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies will be open 24 hours a day.
- Metro trains and cabs will be available.
- Government buses will be running.
- Grocery stores, banks, and ATMs will be open.
- Offices, shops, and restaurants will be open. However, businesses may choose to close if they wish.
The KSPA has said that it will not back down from the Bangalore Bandh until its demands are met. The state government has not yet commented on the Bangalore Bandh.
