Lucknow, Dec 8 (IANS) The Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) has said they will hold demonstrations at 65 points in Lucknow on Tuesday afternoon in support of the ‘Bharat Bandh’ call.
Most of the places are the entry points to the state capital. They include Dewa Sharief, IIM road, Dubagga, Shaheed Path, Gosainganj, Mohanlalganj, Rahimabad, Bakshi Ka Talab, Nigoha, Behta and Vrindavan scheme.
BKU spokesman Alok Varma said that ambulances and students would be exempted and allowed to move on the roads.
A senior police official, meanwhile, said they were aware of the BKU programme and would not permit assembly of persons in view of Section 144 and also the pandemic protocols.
“It is because of this that prohibitory orders have been extended to the rural areas too. We are fully prepared to thwart any demonstration,” he said.
