Bhubaneswar: A nationwide Bharat Bandh on February 12 could lead to partial disruptions in banking, transport and local services, though essential services are expected to operate normally.
Public sector bank unions have announced participation in the strike, which may affect branch-level banking operations, even as branches remain open. Public transport, including buses and taxis, could face interruptions in some states due to protests and road blockades. Local markets and government offices may also see limited functioning.
However, emergency services such as hospitals and ambulances, airports, and essential utilities are expected to function as usual. Citizens are advised to plan travel in advance and use digital banking services to avoid inconvenience.
