Karnataka Bandh: What to Expect on September 29, 2023
The state of Karnataka is bracing itself for another round of protests as various pro-Kannada organizations, led by Vatal Nagaraj, chairman of Kannada Chaluvali, have called for a Karnataka Bandh on September 29, 2023. This marks the second major demonstration of the week in the state. Over 1,900 organizations have pledged their support for the bandh, which is scheduled to run from six in the morning until six in the evening. To maintain order during this event, Section 144 will be in effect for 24 hours starting at midnight on Thursday, and all demonstrations are expected to take place exclusively in Freedom Park.Affected Areas During the Karnataka Bandh on September 29
As the name suggests, the "Karnataka Bandh" implies that the entire state will be affected by this protest. Vatal Nagaraj, leader of Kannada Chauvali and a former member of the state legislature, has firmly stated that there will be no turning back from this demonstration, and it will receive widespread support. During a recent news conference, he announced that the demonstration would be held in front of the Raj Bhawan. Major national thoroughfares and airports are expected to be blocked, with taxis, buses, and other vehicles showing their support. Nagaraj has emphasized that this will be a "Sampoorna Karnataka Bandh," affecting all districts across the state.Impact on Educational Institutions During the Karnataka Bandh
