A pensioners organization has voiced its support for a bandh announced in Punjab, according to a report from Mohali.
A pensioners organization in Punjab has publicly endorsed the statewide bandh that has been called by local activists. The endorsement was reported from Mohali, indicating that the group aligns with the objectives of the shutdown.
The bandh, which is expected to affect various public services across the state, has drawn support from several sections of society, including senior citizens who are represented by the organization. While details of the bandh’s schedule and demands were not disclosed, the backing suggests a broader consensus among retirees.
Authorities have been alerted to the growing support for the bandh, and officials are likely to monitor the situation closely to ensure law and order. The pensioners group’s stance may influence negotiations between protest leaders and the government.
