The 10-hour Bharat Bandh, which was set to finish at 4 p.m., was declared a success by protesting farmers on Monday. The Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) organised a pan-India shut down in protest of three agriculture regulations enacted by parliament in september last year.

Rakesh Tikait, a spokesperson for the Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU), claimed the 'Bharat Bandh' was effective because farmers were behind it. The SKM, an umbrella organisation of over 40 unions, organised a bandh, and BKU was one of the participants.

Bharat Bandh elicited "an extraordinary response, well above anyone's expectations," according to the SMK. Many non-NDA parties came out in favour of the countrywide demonstration.

The bandh in Delhi-NCR disrupted traffic between delhi and the neighbouring states of Haryana and Uttar Pradesh.
Farmers in punjab and haryana stopped national highways and key connecting roads in both states, forcing police to reroute traffic at many locations.

Demonstrations and rallies in favour of the Bharat Bandh were conducted across Jammu and Kashmir.

For a few hours, Gujarat was mostly calm. However, there have been instances of the Surat-Mumbai and Ahmedabad-Rajkot roads being temporarily closed, causing traffic congestion in a few locations.

The Bharat Bandh had no effect on Maharashtra, Assam, or Goa.

Left-wing protestors in West Bengal obstruct highways and railway tracks. Road blockades were set up in most of the state's main cities and villages.

The Bharat Bandh had an impact in Kerala because the LDF and UDF backed the demand.

The bandh disrupted railway operations, causing around 25 trains to be delayed or diverted.
