Today, i.e. on 30th December, Punjab is closed. People are also very upset since morning, because the national highways have also been closed. Bus drivers have also announced to block the roads till 2 o'clock. Along with this, roads, railways, schools and colleges are also closed. Meanwhile, this announcement of the farmers has also been supported by other groups including the Vyapar Mandal, but the Vyapar Mandal has also made it clear that the markets will not be closed.
Statement of the Vice President of the Vyapar Mandal
Vyapar Mandal Vice President and Vyapar Mandal Barnala President Anil Bansal Nana said on this matter that it is not right to close the market even while supporting the farmers' movement. He further said that frequent closure of markets causes problems in economic activities. Punjab has already faced the epidemic and economic crisis and when all the work has started to get back to normal, then the announcement of repeatedly closing Punjab is wrong.
Purpose of Punjab Bandh
Punjah Bandh has only one purpose which is to focus attention on the demands of farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal (who is sitting on fast unto death). Due to his fast, his health is continuously deteriorating, due to which farmer leader Sarwan Singh Pandher appealed for Punjab Bandh. Let us tell you that the effect of Punjab Bandh is also being seen on petrol pumps, gas stations, offices, shops, traffic etc.
