Karnataka bandh on Aug 13: Bengaluru may remain largely unaffected as major groups withdraw support

A statewide shutdown, or bandh, has been called in the Indian state of Karnataka for August 13. However, the impact on Bengaluru, the state's capital and a major business hub, is expected to be minimal due to major groups withdrawing their support for the shutdown. This means that essential services such as schools, hotels, and public transport are likely to remain operational, minimizing disruptions to the city's economy and daily life. As a result, the shutdown is unlikely to have a significant impact on the state's economy or markets.
