All the banks will be closed for transactions on 9 July. Insurance offices will also suspend services. Post office employees will not render any services either. To give you an idea, on 9 July, more than 30 crore employees across the country will be observing a strike.
Bharat Bandh on 9 July
Please note that on 9th July there will be a complete shutdown of services at the banks. It is due to the decision of 10 central trade unions and their members from banking, insurance, postal services, coal mining, highways, construction, and state transport. The All India Bank Employees Association, Bengal Provincial Bank Employees Association, and the BEFI are among the trade unions participating along with AITUC, HMS, CITU, INTUC, AIUTUC, TUCC, SEWA, AICCTU, LPF, and UTUC.
What is the reason behind Bharat Bandh on 9th July
As stated previously, unions are set to strike on 9th July, opposing government policies. The Bank Employees Union has called for a strike in response to what they define as the anti-labour and pro-corporate policies of the central government's economic reforms. They claim that the government is trying to benefit the corporates by ignoring their demands. Based on the Union Forum, between 25 to 30 crore employees are expected to partake in the strike. They will also be joined by farmers and laborers. There are 17 issues raised by the employee unions which they claim have not been addressed by the government.
