🔥 Bharat Bandh Today: 25 Crore Workers Hit the Streets in Massive Strike! 🔥

TL;DR:Central trade unions and farmers’ groups have launched a huge Bharat Bandh on July 9, 2025, with over 25 crore workers protesting the government’s pro-corporate, anti-worker reforms 🚩. Banks, transport, mining, power, and postal services are disrupted 💥, while schools and private offices mostly stay open. Protesters demand ₹26,000 minimum wage, old pension scheme restoration, and protection for public sector jobs.

🚩 What’s the Bharat Bandh About?

Hey buddies 😎, today’s #BharatBandh is not some random holiday 🛑. It’s a loud shout-out by 10 big trade unions and farmer groups who are super angry about new labour laws that make it tougher for workers to fight for their rights 😡. These laws want longer work hours ⏳, fewer chances to strike ✊, and more power to big companies 💼.

The unions are also fuming over privatisation of public sector units like defence factories and banks 😤. They feel this will snatch away jobs from common people who already struggle to put food on the table 🍛.

Their demands are pretty clear:✅ Minimum ₹26,000 salary for all workers 💰✅ Bringing back the old pension scheme 🧓✅ More regular recruitments instead of contract jobs 📄✅ Stopping public sector sales 🛑

📊 Who’s Involved and How Big Is It?

This ain’t a small show, dost! 🤯 Over 25 crore workers from banking 🏦, insurance, coal mining ⛏️, steel 🏗️, power ⚡, transport 🚌, and postal services 📮 are part of this bandh.

Even farmers are joining in, saying the policies are killing rural incomes 🌾. Though some groups like the BMS stayed out, calling it “political drama,” the turnout is still massive 🙌.

🚧 What’s Getting Hit Today?

Let’s break it down, bro:

  • Banks & Insurance: Many bank branches are shut or half-empty 😬. Cheque clearance and cash deposits are delayed ⏳.

  • Public Transport: In states like Odisha and West Bengal, buses and trains are stuck due to blockades 🚂🛑.

  • Mining & Power: Over 27 lakh workers have walked out, affecting coal and electricity work ⚡.

  • Postal Services: Letters and parcels will get late delivery today 📬.

  • Schools & Colleges: Mostly open but kids are struggling to reach due to transport mess 🏫.

  • Private Offices: They are running but many employees are stuck in traffic jams 🚗.

🗺️ State Highlights

💥 West Bengal: Protesters sat on railway tracks in Jadavpur. Police had to clear them out 👮.💥 Odisha: Highways blocked in Khordha, making commuters’ lives hell 😩.💥 Bengaluru: Massive rallies at Freedom Park; central roads are jam-packed 🚧.💥 Kerala: KSRTC buses are running but protests happening in some areas 🚌.

✊ Why Are Workers So Angry?

This is the 22nd big strike since 1991 😱. People are tired of rising prices 💸, no job security 👷, and the feeling that only the rich are growing richer 🤑.

Workers say if the govt really cares about development, it must first protect their basic rights 🧑‍🔧 and public sector jobs that help lakhs of families survive 🙏.

🧐 MediaFx Opinion (From People’s Perspective)

This bandh is not just a protest—it’s a roar for dignity 🔥. The working class is showing that they won’t stay quiet when their sweat and hard work are being taken for granted 😤. No real progress can happen if regular people keep losing jobs while corporates keep making profits.

We stand with the demand for fair wages, job security, and respect for workers. Because real development should never leave the common man behind 💪.
