According to the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), the Prime Minister will visit Madhya Pradesh, Bihar and Assam from February 23-25.
In Assam, the Bharat Bandh called by 21 groups to protest the Supreme Court’s August 1 decision on SC-ST reservations had minimal impact on Wednesday, August 21.
Daily life across the state remained largely unaffected, with schools, offices, and businesses operating as usual.

Transportation services were also unaffected, with road traffic flowing smoothly and long-distance buses and trains running on schedule.
The bandh, aimed at opposing the Supreme Court’s ruling, which the protesting groups claim weakens the principles of community-based reservation, failed to garner significant support in Assam, resulting in little to no disruption throughout the day.
