The ‘Reservation Bachao Sangharsh Samiti’ has called for a Bharat Bandh on Wednesday to protest a recent Supreme Court ruling allowing further sub-classification within Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. Dalit and Adivasi groups argue the decision threatens constitutional rights and demand a reversal. Support for the bandh includes political parties BSP, JMM, and RJD. The shutdown will impact public transport in Rajasthan, Kerala, and Uttar Pradesh, but emergency services, hospitals, and educational institutes will remain operational. No official announcements on the status of banks or government offices have been made.
