A WhatsApp message is going viral claiming Bharat Bandh tomorrow (September 22). The WhatsApp message claims that the country will observe complete shutdown on September 22 to mourn the death of 18 soldiers who lost their lives in terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Uri. The post also claims that Bharat Bandh will be observed on 22 September that will mark the national day of mourning for 18 soldiers killed in terror attack at Uri in Jammu and Kashmir. Bharath Bandh has been one of most searched word on Google since past one month following the call of trade unions of nationwide strike on September 2.
The WhatsApp message regarding Bharat Bandh on September 22 is creating confusion as many believed that shutdown has been announced by the government to mourn the deaths of brave-hearts of Uri attack. In fact, Central government or any state government hasn’t announced anything like ‘national mourning day’ on September 22. India witnessed heat of nationwide strike of trade unions on September 2 resulting shutdown of banks, industries, insurance companies and transport services
