What looms on the horizon today?
A tapestry of more than 1,900 associations throws its weight behind the bandh, heralding the closure of various non-essential establishments, particularly in the southern precincts of Karnataka, notably Bengaluru. An anticipatory hush envelops grocery stores, while essential services, the lifeblood of sustenance—hospitals, ambulances, and pharmacies—maintain their operational heartbeat. In the wake of the Karnataka Bandh, the echelons of education witness dormancy, as all schools and colleges in Bengaluru lock their doors, as declared by Deputy Commissioner of Police B Dayananda on Thursday. The symphony of solidarity extends to cab aggregators like Ola and Uber, whose drivers, in tandem with the zeitgeist, are poised to partake in the rallies.
