If you are planning to go somewhere out or travel out of the station today, then stop right there as Jalandhar is fully and completely on shutdown mode.
Jalandhar will observe a double bandh today, as on one side the Valmiki and Ravidas community and on the other side, the farmers protesting have called for a bandh today.
At 9 am, the Phagwara Sugar Mill Chowk was completely blocked by the farmers and now at 12 noon, nobody should even think of going on a highway as the protestors will be completely blocking the P.A.P Chowk.
The impact of bandh can be seen in the whole of Jalandhar as most of the services are suspended for today, although the shops for essential needs like pharmacy are allowed to open.
The commuters traveling on a National Highway should avoid doing so otherwise they will have a tough time reaching the destination.
The utmost important reason for the bandh is that the existing government was not able to pacify the Ravidas and Valmiki community because of which they have decided on the Jalandhar bandh today.
Advocate General, Anmol Ratan Mann has given a demeaning statement against the SC community which has upset them a lot. Anmol Ratan Singh, while giving his opinion on the job of the SC category remarked that the posts on which these people are appointed are not suitable for them.
