A nationwide call for chakka bandh has been declared on Saturday, February 6. The bandh is against the three farm bills for which the farmer protests have erupted in New Delhi.
In Assam, the bandh will be observed by the All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS) state unit. The timings have been given from 12 PM to 3 PM. "Along with the bandh, there will be other demonstrations and meetings for the stated matter. We expect many others to join us," said Tiken Das, General Secretary (GS), Assam Unit, AIKS.
Other organizations have joined the AIKS in Assam including the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) and the Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti (KMSS). They have all joined the Samyukta Kisan Morcha, an umbrella body of farmers protesting against the three farm laws.
The CITU has supported the cause and will demonstrate it across the state. This was informed to G Plus by Pratul Barman of CITU Guwahati Unit.
