Bharat Bandh updates | Delhi Police tightens security at border points

Samyukta Kisan Morcha, the umbrella body of over 40 farm unions spearheading the farmers’ agitation, has called for an all-India Bharat Bandh. “As this historic struggle completes 10 months, SKM has called Monday [September 27] to be observed as Bharat Bandh against the anti-farmer Modi government,” the SKM had said in a statement. The bandh will be held from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. during which all government and private offices, educational and other institutions, shops, industries and commercial establishments as well as public events and functions will be closed throughout the country, it said.

Here are the latest developments:

Madhya Pradesh | 4.10 pm

No major impact of Bharat Bandh in Madhya Pradesh

The Bharat Bandh had no major impact in Madhya Pradesh on Monday as day-to-day and commercial activities went on as usual.

Eyewitnesses said road traffic was normal in the state capital Bhopal and commercial hub Indore.

However, talking to PTI, Rashtriya Kisan Mazdoor Mahasangh national president Shivkumar Kakkaji claimed, “The bandh called by farmers against the three laws and for demanding guaranteed MSP for crops has been successful.” He further claimed that the outfit had given relaxation from the shutdown to Bhopal as most of its residents are (private and government sector) employees and not farmers, but the protest was successful in the farming community-dominated small towns of Nimar region, Shahdol, Umaria, Raisen and Silwani. Kakkaji said he was sitting in the “control room” in Bhopal and was getting reports that the shutdown call was “successful”, and added that no untoward incident was reported from anywhere.

Peaceful protests were also seen in districts like Vidisha and Satna. — PTI

As indicated by Shiva Purana, the evil presence Ravana, ruler of Lanka asked master Mahadeva/Shiva and requesting that he return to Lanka. Master Mahadeva/Shiva did not acknowledge his supplication but rather gave him a Linga. He said that the twelve images of the Jyothirlinga were effective to the point that there ought not be a break in the trip and the linga ought not be kept anyplace on the earth. In the event that the linga was put anyplace it is settled to that place and can't be moved. Ravana acknowledge this condition and began the voyage. Master Vishnu showed up before Ravana as a brahmin and conversed with him.Unaware of Vidhnu's craftiness, Ravana requested that the brahmin hold the Jyothirlinga for a moment. Master Vishu acknowledged it and Ravana calmed himself. When he returned, the jyothirlinga had disappeared.When he sought; he thought that it was settled to the earth.

Vishnu and Brahma split their approaches to downwards and upwards individually to discover the finish of the light in either bearing. Brahma lied that he discovered the end, while Vishnu surrendered his thrashing. Shiva showed up as a moment mainstay of light and reviled Brahma that he would have no place in services while Vishnu would be adored till the finish of endlessness. The jyotirlinga is the incomparable partless reality, out of which Shiva somewhat shows up. The jyothirlinga holy places, along these lines are places where Shiva showed up as a red hot segment of light.Originally there were accepted to be 64 jyothirlingas while 12 of them are thought to be exceptionally propitious and sacred. Each of the twelve jyothirlinga locales take the name of the managing god - each thought to be diverse indication of Shiva.At every one of these destinations, the essential picture is lingam speaking to the beginningless and interminable Stambha column, symbolizing the limitless idea of Shiva.The twelve jyothirlinga are Somnath in Gujarat, Mallikarjuna at Srisailam in Andhra Pradesh, Mahakaleswar at Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh, Omkareshwar in Madhya Pradesh, Kedarnath in Uttarakhand, Bhimashankar in Maharashtra, Viswanath at Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh, Triambakeshwar in Maharashtra, Baidyanath at Deoghar in Jharkhand, Nageswar at Dwarka in Gujarat, Rameshwar at Rameswaram in Tamil Nadu and Grishneshwar at Aurangabad in Maharashtra.
