The Indian National Congress has announced a citywide bandh in Ajmer on 23 July to protest the deteriorating condition of Anasagar Lake, urging authorities to take immediate action.
The Indian National Congress has called for a bandh in Ajmer on 23 July, citing the deteriorating condition of Anasagar Lake as the main grievance. The party says the lake has suffered from neglect, with water quality declining and surrounding areas becoming polluted.
Congress leaders urged the state government to undertake immediate restoration work and enforce stricter environmental regulations. The bandh was originally scheduled for an earlier date but was postponed to 23 July to avoid clashes with other local events.
The bandh will involve a halt of public transport, schools, and businesses across the city. Protesters plan to gather at key points around the lake to demand action from the authorities.
The call comes amid growing public concern over the lake’s ecological health, with local residents and environmental groups demanding a comprehensive cleanup plan.
