The Karnataka Schools' Association has announced it will no longer back the planned August 13 bandh in the state, a move that could alter the scale of the protest.
The Karnataka Schools' Association (KSA) has formally withdrawn its support for the August 13 bandh that was scheduled across the state.
The bandh, which was to be held to protest various political issues, had earlier received backing from the KSA, signalling potential participation from schools.
With the association's withdrawal, organisers anticipate a reduction in the number of schools that will join the protest, potentially affecting the overall turnout.
No further details have been released by the KSA regarding the reasons for the decision or any alternative actions they may pursue.
