Punjab Bandh Today Timings: Punjab is observing a bandh on Thursday, October 15, following the killing of anti-drug activist Parvinder Singh Jhota in Mansa. The shutdown has been called from 6 am to 5 pm, with protesters demanding a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the killing and accountability from the state government.
The bandh is expected to affect markets, road traffic, buses and educational institutions in several parts of Punjab. However, the impact may vary from one district to another, and residents should check local advisories before stepping out. Police have put security arrangements in place around Mansa, including barricades on roads leading to the town. Bus services have already faced disruption on some routes, leaving passengers waiting at stops.
