Mumbai, July 02: The Maharashtra government will ensure that essential services remain unaffected in the state during the nation-wide bandh on July 5 called by opposition parties against rise in prices of petroleum products, Chief Minister Ashok Chavan today said.
He told reporters here that the state government was considering challenging in court the bandh call in the light of the Supreme Court verdict that bandhs were “illegal and unconstitutional” means of protest.
Chavan said efforts would be made for normal running of sub-urban trains and plying of buses on the bandh day.
