Maharashtra: Maharashtra’s Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government, a coalition between the Congress, the Shiv Sena, and the NCP, has called for a state-wide bandh on Monday, 11 October, in protest against the Lakhimpur unrest that led to the deaths of four farmers on 3 October.
“I request 12 crore people of Maharashtra to support the farmers. Support means all of you join the bandh and stop your work for a day,” state minister Nawab Malik had announced ahead of the bandh, NDTV reported.
Public transport is also likely to remain unavailable. “Our organisation and several other transport groups will be supporting the bandh,” Rickshaw Panchayat functionary Nitin Pawar told news agency PTI. NDTV
