Bharat Bandh: Police Assaults SDO During India Shutdown; SC-ST Quota Within Quota | ABP News

In Jehanabad, Bihar, supporters of the Bharat Bandh have blocked the National Highway (NH) 83 at Unta. The one-day Bharat Bandh, organized by the "Reservation Bachao Sangharsh Samiti," is in protest against a recent Supreme Court ruling on reservations. In response to the shutdown, schools in Rajasthan have been closed. The bandh, scheduled for August 21, is a reaction to the Supreme Court's decision regarding reservations for Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST). Several opposition parties, including RJD and Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, have expressed support for the bandh. The decision has faced widespread criticism, fueling the nationwide protest against the court's ruling on reservation policies.
