India, July 8 -- A joint forum of 10 central trade unions, along with associated workers' and farmers' organisations, has called for Bharat Bandh on July 9 (Wednesday) to register protest against the "anti-worker, anti-farmer, and pro-corporate" policies of the Centre.

Over 25 crore workers from government sectors, including banking, postal services, mining, construction, and transport, will join the nationwide general strike.

Schools and private offices are likely to remain open.

"Farmers and rural workers will also join the protest across the country," said Amarjeet Kaur from the All India Trade Union Congress.
