A 12-hour-long Bharat Bandh called by the farmer unions affected rail and road transports in many states with many organisations extending support to the farmers’ cause.  Indian Railways has cancelled 4 Shatabdi trains while 31 other trains have been stopped midway as protesters squat on railway tracks at 32 locations across Punjab and Haryana.

A railway spokesperson said four Shatabdi trains have been canceled, 35 other passenger trains were detained and the movement of 40 goods trains was affected by the protests.

Markets across several states including Punjab and Haryana also closed their shutters while roads wore a deserted look. Farmer unions protesting against the three agri laws had called a complete ‘Bharat Bandh’, even as it will not be observed in four poll-bound states and Puducherry

Protesters squatted on railway tracks at 44 locations across Punjab and Haryana on Friday as part of the Bharat Bandh called by farmer unions protesting against agri laws, leading to disruption of rail traffic. The 44 locations where train movement has been disrupted fall under the Delhi, Ambala, and Ferozepur divisions of the railways.

The Samkyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) has called for the bandh from 6 am to 6 pm to mark four months of the farmers' agitation at Delhi's three borders -- Singhu, Ghazipur, and Tikri.

Thousands of farmers, mainly from Punjab, Haryana and western Uttar Pradesh, have been camping at Singhu, Tikri, and Ghazipur borders demanding a complete repeal of the three farm laws and a legal guarantee for minimum support price on their crops.
