Bengal Bandh Today: Owing to the 12-hour Bengal Bandh called by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), major airline companies have issued alerts on transport and traffic disruptions asking passengers to monitor road conditions and their flight status on Wednesday (August 28). The bandh by the saffron camp, which began at 6 am, was called after the police used tear gas and lathicharged protesters during the ‘Nabanna Abhijan’ rally a day before.
Vistara, IndiGo and SpiceJet sent out travel advisories alerting passengers about possible local transport issues, road blockages, diversions, traffic congestion and slow vehicle movement en route to the Kolkata airport. They also asked people to plan travel well in advance and track flight status to stay updated on the developments during the bandh.
