Guwahati, Aug 21 (PTI): The day-long Bharat Bandh called by some groups over community-based reservation had no impact in Assam on Wednesday.
Schools, offices and business establishments functioned normally with almost full attendance across the state.
Vehicular traffic was normal and long-distance buses operated according to their schedules. There were no disruptions to railway services, with all trains running on time.
Twenty-one organisations across the country have called for Bharat Bandh against the Supreme Court’s August 1 decision on the issue of SC-ST reservation.
The organisations opposed the verdict, contending that it will harm the basic principles of reservation.
