The shutdown will be witnessed in the districts of Jaipur, Alwar, Dausa, Sawai Madhopur, Deeg, Jaisalmer and Bharatpur.

Kota University examinations have also been postponed.

Congress and Scheduled Caste-Tribe Sanyukt Sangharsh Samiti have also supported the Bharat Bandh.

Aarakshan Bachao Sangharsh Samiti has formed 25 units for the Jaipur bandh, which will ask traders to shut down their shops. A rally will also be held by the bandh supporters.

Rajasthan's DGP, UR Sahoo, has instructed district Superintendents of Police to maintain order and engage with local organisations. "We have asked our officials to organise meetings with groups calling for the bandhand with market associations to facilitate better cooperation," said Sahoo.

In Jaipur, Police Commissioner Biju George Joseph has already initiated dialogue with groups supporting the strike. The authorities are taking proactive measures to prevent any potential conflicts or disruptions during the protest.
