— Markets, public places, road and rail transport will be closed, says the farmers' front.
— Farmers' protest has been on at Delhi's border points since last year.
— Farmers demand a repeal of the three laws and legal guarantee on MSP.
Farm agitation leaders announce the bandh plans at Ghazipur border.
A day ahead of their planned March 26 Bharat Bandh, the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) today issued a call to people to try and make the bandh successful.
The strike has been called from 6 am to 6 pm tomorrow (Friday, March 26).
Apart from markets and public places, road and rail transport will also remain closed during the bandh, according to claims made by the front of protesting farmer unions.
Meanwhile, Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) president Rakesh Tikait said in Jaipur ahead of the bandh that agitating farmers may have to go to Delhi and breach barricades again.
It has been months that protesting farmers have been camping at the capital's borders as part of an agitation against Modi government's new farm laws. Continuous protest has been on at three of Delhi's border points — Singhu, Ghazipur and Tikri — since late last year.
The main demands of protesting farmers include the repeal of the three laws and a legal assurance on MSP.

| Basant Raj Bhandari1 hour ago This farmers agitation sponsored and financed by the Aaratiyas and other middlemen from Punjab, Haryana and western U.P. has lost general public support, who are fed up with their tactics. In rest of India including east, west and southern parts of India no one even take note of their announcements.People are more worried about outbreak of Corona again and their plan of Bandh on 26/3/21 will further deflate and delineate masses support. |
| Abhijit Parulekar1 hour ago It's a middle men protest....those who are parasites of AMC commitees are spearheading protests fueled by politically rejected candidates like tikait who lost his deposit in last election |
