The bandh, which saw sporadic blockades and clashes, prompted police to use mild lathi-charge at several locations, particularly in Patna, Darbhanga, and Jehanabad, to control the situation.

On August 21, 2024, India will witness a nationwide strike known as "Bharat Bandh," organized by the Reservation Bachao Sangharsh Samiti. This protest is in response to a recent Supreme Court ruling regarding SC/ST reservations.
