DCP S Chaitanya, Mumbai Police PRO has appealed people to maintain peace on 'BharatBandh' called by farmers tomorrow. Thousands of farmers are sitting on various borders of New Delhi since November 26 against the laws and have called for a ''Bharat Bandh'' on December 8.
Patrolling will be done in the city so that no untoward incident takes place. We appeal to the people to maintain peace, said the Mumbai Police PRO.
Farmers are protesting against the Farmers' Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020, the Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, 2020, and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020.
The taxi union of Mumbai has not given a call for strike tomorrow in support of 'Bharat Bandh'. Cabs and autos will ply as normal.
Meanwhile the BEST buses will be operational tomorrow and will not be part of 'Bharat Bandh'. Protective iron grills and other protective gears will be used while plying the buses tomorrow, said the PRO, Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport.
