Karnataka bandh Today: Schools and colleges remain open amid shutdown.
Karnataka Bandh Today: Kannada Okkuta, an umbrella organisation representing various pro-Kannada outfits has called for a statewide shutdown from 6 am to 6 pm on Saturday, March 22, 2025 to protest the alleged assault on a state-run bus conductor in the border district of Belagavi last month for not knowing Marathi.
The state is witnessing a partial closure on Karnataka Bandh as the state government has opposed the shutdown. No holiday has been declared for the schools, colleges and other educational institutes in the state. The state is also conducting Karnataka SSLC examinations which began on March 21. Though no exam is scheduled to be held on March 22 the state government has clarified that it will not support the shutdown, as it could affect lakhs of students preparing for their exams.
The Karnataka Private Schools Union has extended moral support, but other unions didn’t give their support to the bandh and said examinations are underway in many districts, including Bengaluru, and no holidays have been declared. Similarly, private colleges will remain open.
