Punjab Bandh August 21: Are banks, offices, trains, taxis, buses and markets closed? Check what will remain open and what services will be closed

On Friday, August 21, Punjab will see a significant seven-hour bandh from 7 am to 2 pm. The Qaumi Insaaf Morcha has organized this shutdown as part of its efforts to secure the release of Sikh prisoners. Expect markets and shops to remain closed during this time, while public transport may be disrupted. However, essential services will continue, and educational institutions are likely to remain operational unless otherwise decided.
