Why is Bharat Bandh on 12th February 2026? Full List of What’s Open vs Closed – Banks, Schools, Transport, Markets and Essential Services Across India

Bharat-Bandh

On Thursday, 12 February 2026, a Bharat Bandh (nationwide lockout) will take place due to the efforts of a coalition of 10 central trade unions and farmers’ associations who oppose the government’s policies related to (among other things) the new labour codes and impending free trade agreements.

Why Is the Bharat Bandh Called?

Trade unions – like INTUC, AITUC, HMS and CITU, etc. – and farmers’ unions, including the Samyukt Kisan Morcha, are calling for three things:

  • The removal of 4 (four) new labour codes that came into effect in 2025, which they believe remove protection for employees.
  • Opposition to several trade agreements (including the India/US free trade agreement) that adversely affect farmers.
  • Other policy changes concerning employment schemes and social welfare.

What Might Be Closed?

Banks

Banks in the public sector have called for strike action by their employees because the Reserve Bank of India has not designated February 12 as a “banking holiday”. Bank branches may have service disruptions during the strike period. Activities in branches that routinely take place will experience delays, such as cash transactions and cheque clearances. Digital banking, ATMs, and online banking services should be unaffected.

Schools & Colleges

Education facilities don’t have one universal rule for closure from the government. Individual education facilities and/or individual states may choose to remain closed or issue facility closures or local advisories due to transportation problems for deliverability of students and/or disruption in teacher support because of the bandh.

Transport & Markets

Marches and blockades related to the protests may result in delays or cancellations of some public transportation services (e.g., taxi services, state-run bus & train services, etc.). Affected areas may have reduced availability of retail businesses or local markets during protest hours, which could impact all or some portions of the day.

What Will Remain Open?

Essential services such as hospitals, pharmacies, ambulances, water, electricity, and medical emergency services are expected to be running as per normal. Airports and train services will generally run; however, travelers should anticipate delays with respect to road congestion.

Delhi Metro: The Magenta Line in Delhi National Capital Region (NCR) is all set to emerge as the Delhi Metro Network’s longest corridor. It would feature the highest count of underground and interchange stations, enhancing cross-city connectivity across the Delhi NCR region.

Anuj Dayal, Principal Executive Director (Corporate Communications) of DMRC, remarked that the complete length of the Line 8 (Magenta Line) that stretches from Botanical Garden in Noida to Inderlok in Delhi would be about 89 kilometres, making it the Delhi Metro Network’s longest corridor. It was also added that the metro line would be functioning entirely as a driverless metro corridor once it is fully operational.

Delhi Metro-Names Of Interchange Stations

As of now, Magenta Line’s operational stretch has 4 interchange stations in Botanical Garden, Kalkaji Mandir, Janakpuri West and Hauz Khas. Going forward, an additional 17 interchange stations would be added under Phase V (A) and Phase IV.

These include Chirag Delhi, Terminal-1 IGI Airport, Peeragarhi, Pitampura (Madhuban Chowk), Kalindi Kunj, Majlis Park, Azadpur, Pulbangash, Nabi Karim, Ramakrishna Ashram Marg, Shivaji Stadium, Haiderpur Badli Mor, Central Secretariat, Indraprastha, Delhi Gate, New Delhi and Inderlok.

It was remarked by the officials that Azadpur, New Delhi, Inderlok and Central Secretariat would become interchange stations, providing seamless connectivity with 3 different Metro lines each.

Number Of Stations

The Magenta Line corridor once completed from Botanical Garden to Inderlok would have as many as 65 stations. Forty of these stations would be underground stations.

Interestingly, Haiderpur Badli Mor on the Magenta Line corridor is the Delhi Metro’s highest elevated station at 28.362 metres at Pier no. 340 while Hauz Khas also on the same metro line is the deepest underground metro station at about 29 metres.

Thailand Mass Shooting: In one of the bloodiest massacres of Thailand, a gunman killed 22 children and 12 adults at a Hat Yai district school in Southern Thailand.

All the hostages have been freed and the attacker has been detained by police.

Thailand Mass Shooting-The Turn Of Events

An 18-year-old man sneaked into the Patongprathankiriwat School in Hat Yai of the Songkhla Province with a gun.

Deputy Superintendent Wichian Soboon commented that the perpetrator of the heinous crime has been successfully captured. Mae Taptim Yala Foundation, which first reported the Thailand mass shooting on its Facebook social media page, confirmed that an injured teacher of the district school was immediately rushed to the hospital.

According to authorities, an unknown number of teachers and students were taken hostage by the perpetrator. Armed policemen immediately arrived at the scene as hundreds of young people were seen fleeing onto the roads in a complete panic mode. However, many teachers and pupils were unable to run away and stayed trapped inside the school building.

Past Massacre

In October 2022, United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) expressed shock and sadness at the tragic shooting in Thailand’s northern province of Nong Bua Lamphu. The incident happened at an early childhood development centre where dozens of people were killed, including many young children.

In a statement, UNICEF had remarked that time it condemns all forms of violence against children and added that no child should ever be a witness or target of violence anytime anywhere. It was also commented that early childhood schools, development centres and learning spaces must be safe havens for young children to grow, play and learn during their most critical years.

“Say No to King Paddy”: Bhagwant Mann Leads Punjab’s Bold Shift Towards Sustainable Groundnut Farming to Combat Severe Groundwater Crisis

bhagwant-mann-04
Google

Bhagwant Mann: Punjab has a very bad problem with freshwater. Every year, the state takes out about 5.2 billion cubic meters of groundwater, which causes an average yearly drop of 0.7 meters. In 115 of the 153 blocks, the water level has gone above what is safe for extraction, and in some areas, it has been used more than 150% of its refilling capacity.

Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann said that the situation could not continue and warned that agriculture could be hurt permanently if things are not changed right away.

The campaign to “Say No to King Paddy”

The state started the “Say No to King Paddy” effort to get people to stop using too much water for King Paddy. The slogan is aimed at paddy types that need a lot of water, like Pusa 44, and tells farmers to switch to crops that need less water.

Groundnut, maize, cotton, and basmati rice are some of the options that the government is pushing. Also, officials are telling farmers to use direct-seeded rice (DSR), a method that can cut water use by 15–20 per cent per acre while keeping returns the same.

A 14-point plan to save water

The Mann government passed a 14-point action plan for long-term sustainability in the middle of 2025. In order to keep water from evaporating, the plan calls for switching 1.58 million hectares to drip and sprinkler watering systems and building more underground pipeline networks.

The government will also fix up 63,000 kilometres of canals and move water from the surface into village ponds so that they can be used for lift irrigation. To make sure that tracking is done locally and distribution works well, the state is planning to set up Water User Associations.

The Punjabi pop star, who recently sang for Ranveer Singh’s film Dhurandhar, paused her live performance to address an alleged harassment incident in the crowd.

The concert took place at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on February 7. The high-energy musical evening soon shifted into a serious conversation about women’s safety. Midway through the show, Jasmine stopped singing after noticing chaos among the audience.

Jasmine Sandlas Viral Video: Here’s What Happened

A viral video circulating online shows the singer halting the performance and speaking directly to security staff. The clip quickly spread across Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), sparking praise and debate. Jasmine Sandlas did not ignore the disturbance. Instead, she chose to confront it publicly.

According to videos from the venue, Jasmine spotted two men allegedly harassing female fans. Visibly upset, she paused the concert and addressed the situation from the stage.

She then called on security to intervene immediately. Jasmine said, “Security, can you please remove these two guys as they are troubling these women. I will not perform if women don’t feel safe in my concert.”

Jasmine Sandlas Viral Video

Soon after, the video of the incident surfaced online. Paps page Instant Bollywood also shared the clip on Instagram. Several users reacted, praising the singer for prioritising safety over the show.

Have a look at some social media comments below

“Women standing for women.”

“She defines true women empowerment.”

“Lioness.”

“Yaha logo ko civic sense sikhani padti hai.”

“Queen behaviour.”

Ayesha Khan’s Surprise Appearance

Despite the tense moment, the evening also featured a lighter, celebratory highlight. Actress Ayesha Khan, who appeared in the dance number “Shararat” from Dhurandhar, made a surprise entry on stage.

The unexpected appearance thrilled the crowd. Jasmine and Ayesha danced together to “Shararat.” During her brief interaction with the audience, Ayesha said, “Main saare steps bhool gayi stage pe aake. I’m so glad to be here. I always tell Jasmine, she’s a god’s child.”

After the performance, Jasmine expressed her gratitude and love for the Delhi audience. She told the crowd, “I’m so so happy to be here. So thankful to be here. Performing in Delhi is always life-changing. Hamesha. Every time I perform in Delhi, it feels special. This time too is just beautiful. I love you, Delhi.”

EPFO 3.0 Explained: Paperless Magic, Instant Approvals, Total Overhaul, Faster Cash And Pure Ease

EPFO

EPFO: The Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) is all set to launch a series of out-of-the-box digital transformation measures with the launch of EPFO 3.0 that would be rolled out for everyone in the coming few months.

The overhaul of the EPFO is aimed at providing faster and reliable facilities, modernizing the statutory body, introducing new facilities and minimizing claim settlement times.

What Is EPFO 3.0?

EPFO 3.0 is an integral part of the Union Government’s broader push to deliver citizen-centric services by strengthening digital public infrastructure, powered by faster turnaround times and minimal paperwork.

The new upgrade would deliver a new sigh of relief for employees and other stakeholders while streamlining the entire system.

How Would The Upgraded Platform Help Stakeholders?

EPFO 3.0 is aimed at offering near-real-time claims processing services, enhanced user experiences and better grievance handling services to Employee Provident Fund members. The upgraded platform would significantly reduce delays in processing claims arising from employer approvals and technical mismatches.

In addition to these advantages, the upgraded platform would minimize dependency on manual approvals in a significant majority of routine cases.

One of the most interesting and much-awaited announcement was the launch of a UPI-based withdrawal facility. Presently, EPF withdrawals made to the employees are sanctioned through conventional bank transfers that often take countless days. The UPI integration feature would facilitate instant and seamless transfer of eligible funds to the linked bank accounts of citizens, bypassing the dreaded process of traditional claim filing.

The feature would facilitate partial withdrawals under permissible categories like education, housing, medical emergencies and other approved purposes.

EPFO would also introduce the facility of providing Doorstep Digital Life Certificates to EPS pensioners. Presently, these pensioners face a series of challenges in accessing the services. Moreover, they need to physically visit the EPFO offices to collect these certificates.

Diabetes: Metabolic Health Coach Exposes 5 Hidden Clues You’re Sliding into Diabetes Or Pre-Diabetes Stage!

Diabetes
Image Credit: Google

Diabetes: In today’s fast-paced and stressed world, diabetes or diabetes mellitus is silently becoming a global epidemic, affecting millions who remain unaware until it gets too late.

Seasoned metabolic health coach Suman Bagriya warns that your body often sends subtle signals long before a full diagnosis. These possible clues of pre-diabetes or impending type 2 diabetes could be reversed with early action.

5 Hidden Clues

Clue 1: Insatiable Thirst and Frequent Urination

If you’re constantly reaching out for water even after meals or waking up multiple times at night to use the washroom, this could be an early red flag. This is primarily because elevated blood sugar levels in the body force your kidneys to work overtime, flushing out excess glucose through urine and pulling fluids from your body.

Clue 2: Unexplained Fatigue Draining Your Energy

Do you often feel wiped out despite decent sleep and no heavy workouts? Extreme tiredness signals that the cells in your body are not properly absorbing glucose because of insulin resistance.

Clue 3: Blurred Vision and Slow-Healing Wounds

Do you experience sudden bouts of fuzzy eyesight? High blood sugar in the body could thicken fluids in eye lenses, distorting your focus temporarily. In acute cases, it may result in permanent damage to your vision and even eyes.

Similarly, bruises or cuts that tend to linger for weeks signal poor immunity and circulation from glucose overload. Immediate haemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) tests are highly recommended if vision blurs post-meals.

Clue 4: Mysterious Weight Shifts and Darkened Skin

If you have been shedding pounds without trying or gaining belly fat despite dieting, this could be a possible red flag. Signs of acanthosis nigricans such as velvety, dark patches on the neck, armpits or groin could suggest an insulin overload stimulating skin cells.

Clue 5: Tingling Extremities and Heightened Hunger

Do you feel like pins or needles are being struck in your hands or feet? This could be a possible red flag for diabetes or pre-diabetes.

Conclusion

Your body whispers before it screams, listen to it now!

Jaunpur Viral Video: A CCTV clip from a mobile showroom in Uttar Pradesh has shocked viewers and sparked anger online. The video allegedly shows two on-duty police constables stealing an iPhone 15 Pro Max worth Rs 1.62 lakh. Within hours, the footage spread across social media and became a widely discussed Jaunpur viral video.

The incident took place on Saturday (February 7) at around 2 pm. The location was a mobile showroom near the JC intersection in Jaunpur’s Line Bazar area. According to the shop owner Shivam, the two constables entered the store in uniform, appearing like regular customers.

They asked a female salesperson to show them several iPhone models. For nearly 20 minutes, they checked multiple devices and spoke with the staff. Before leaving, they claimed they did not like any phone and exited the showroom.

Soon after, Shivam realised that an iPhone 15 Pro Max was missing. Suspecting foul play, he reviewed the CCTV footage. The visuals allegedly showed the constables handling the phone shortly before leaving.

To confirm their identities, Shivam shared the CCTV clip in a WhatsApp group with around 200 contacts. The response was quick. Several viewers recognised the men as active-duty constables posted in Jaunpur district.

Shivam then filed a formal complaint. He also met City Superintendent of Police (SP) Ayush Srivastava and submitted the footage as evidence.

As the clip circulated online, this Jaunpur viral video triggered strong reactions. Many social media users expressed disbelief, frustration and anger.

Read some online user comments below

“Jo haath suraksha ke liye uthe the, ve ab chori ki ‘skill’ dikha rahe hain.”

“Police wo bhi obc chor hai.”

“Police to choron ko pakadti thi, yahan to police hi chor nikli.”

“How these cops work inside Police stn? Need to throw out from the job.”

“Hamare desh ki police itni nikammi aur lalchi kyun hai??”

“Police koi crime karti hai to suspend ho jate hai aam admi koi karta hai to sidha jail fir salo talak court ke chakkar or kuchh nhi in logo ko bhi jail me dalo.”

Cops Suspended, Investigation Launched

Following the complaint, police registered an FIR and launched an investigation. Senior officials moved quickly, especially as the video gained traction online. According to reports, authorities recovered the stolen iPhone within a day. The phone was returned to the showroom owner.

City SP Ayush Srivastava confirmed that the two accused constables (Dhananjay Bind and Mithilesh Yadav) were suspended with immediate effect. In addition, the department ordered an internal inquiry to examine the matter in detail. Officials stated that strict action would follow if the allegations are proven.

During the inquiry, Shivam shared another detail with investigators. He said that one of the suspended constables had visited the area frequently in the past. According to Shivam, the constable had studied at a digital library located above the showroom until about a year ago. This has raised questions about the officer’s familiarity with the premises.

CM Bhagwant Mann Biggest Infrastructure Push: ₹16,209 Crore Mega Project Begins to Create 44,920 Kilometres of High-Quality Rural Roads by 2026

bhagwant-mann-03

CM Bhagwant Mann, the Chief Minister of Punjab, has started one of the state’s biggest rural infrastructure projects. By 2026, the state would have built 44,920 kilometres of high-quality rural roads with a budget of ₹16,209 crore. The goal of the project is to make it easier for people to get around in villages and to make Punjab’s transportation system stronger.

Officials said that the project will reach thousands of towns, making it easier for people to get to schools, marketplaces, and healthcare services.

Pay attention to buildings that last and are of high quality

The government has stressed the need for using modern building methods to make sure that roads last a long time. Engineers will use new materials and thorough quality checks to keep repairs from happening too often and costs from going over budget.

Authorities said that better roads in rural areas will make agricultural supply chains work better, making it easier for farmers to move their crops. Better connections should also cut down on travel time and fuel use.

Effects on the economy and jobs

During the execution phase, the big project is projected to create a lot of jobs. Local contractors, workers, and small companies are likely to gain right away.

Experts in infrastructure say that building roads in rural areas is very important for increasing the economies of those areas. Better connections typically bring in money, help small businesses grow, and boost tourism in distant locations.

Making the goals for rural development stronger

CM Bhagwant Mann News: The project fits in with Punjab’s bigger plan for rural development. The government wants to close the gap in infrastructure between cities and villages and raise the level of living in villages as a whole.

The project is one of the most extensive efforts in the state’s history to connect rural areas with roadways. It will build around 45,000 kilometres of highways.

Noida International Airport: IGI And Navi Mumbai Airports Finally Have A Tough Rival! 5-Runway Investment Magnet For Uttar Pradesh On Its Way

Noida International Airport
Image Credit: Google

Noida International Airport: The Noida International Airport (NIA) at Jewar is all set for a monumental expansion. It would now feature 5 runways in place of the existing 2 and a massive allocation of Rs. 750 crore has been announced for aviation research, operations and maintenance while Rs. 1,100 crore has been allocated for land acquisition.

With the first phase of Noida International Airport already complete, this upgrade positions Jewar as India’s largest airport, rivalling Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI) and Mumbai’s Navi Mumbai Airport in scale and ambition.

Noida International Airport- Cutting-Edge Research and Land Push

Innovation takes the centrestage with a Rs. 750 crore budget dedicated to aviation research, maintenance and operations. The funding would establish an Aviation Research Centre focused on sustainable tech such as AI-driven air traffic management, electric aircraft charging and green fuels. It is also expected that state-of-the-art maintenance hangars would service next-generation planes, creating a self-sustaining ecosystem.

Economic Ripple Effects and Job Creation

According to a KPMG study, the expansion would promise a Rs 1.5 lakh crore economic boost over a period of 25 years. Moreover, it would directly as well as indirectly help in generating 50,000 direct jobs in aviation, hospitality and logistics, and lakhs more indirectly. For CM Yogi Adityanath’s Uttar Pradesh, this cements its status as an investment magnet.

The Jewar Airport is expected to redefine life of more than 20 million residents in the National Capital Region (NCR). Slated to be inaugurated in the month of February 2026, it would alleviate congestion on Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) while unlocking unprecedented opportunities. It would help people from Noida, Greater Noida and Ghaziabad cut travel commutes by as much as 50-85 percent.

Furthermore, the IT hubs in Noida and the manufacturing belts in Greater Noida would stand to gain from enhanced cargo facilities, attracting investments and fostering MSME growth. Also, business and leisure travellers from NCR’s corporate corridors will enjoy seamless connectivity, positioning the region as a global hub.

O Romeo Advance Booking: Shahid Kapoor-Triptii Dimri Starrer Receives Dull Response, Headed For Single-Digit Opening – Can It Beat Deva?

O Romeo Advance Booking: Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri’s upcoming film O Romeo is facing a slow start at the box office, at least in terms of early ticket sales. The film, directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, has recorded a muted response in advance bookings ahead of its theatrical release on February 13, 2026.

According to the latest trade data, just over 21,000 tickets have been sold nationwide so far. These numbers suggest that the film may open in the single-digit crore range. For a movie led by Shahid Kapoor and releasing just before Valentine’s Day, the expectations were significantly higher.

O Romeo Advance Booking Report

By 3 pm today, O Romeo Advance Booking figures showed around 21,058 tickets sold across India. This has translated into roughly Rs 1.64 crore in gross advance booking revenue, including blocked seats. With two days still left before release, the film has time to pick up momentum. However, the current trend remains modest.

Valentine’s week is traditionally considered a strong window for romantic dramas and love stories. Even action thrillers with a romantic angle tend to benefit from the festive mood. Yet, O Romeo has not fully capitalised on that advantage (at least not yet).

The comparison with 2025’s Deva makes the situation clearer. As per Sacnilk data, Deva grossed Rs 3.29 crore through advance bookings before its release. That figure is nearly double O Romeo’s present tally.

For O Romeo to reach similar levels, ticket sales would need to jump by more than 130% in the final 48 hours. While last-minute surges are not uncommon, such a steep rise would require strong word-of-mouth, aggressive promotions, or a spike in audience interest.

Trade analysts closely monitor advance bookings because they often indicate opening-day collections. Strong pre-sales usually signal excitement among moviegoers. On the other hand, slower bookings may hint at a cautious opening.

Despite the dull pre-sales, industry watchers are not ruling out a turnaround. Shahid Kapoor has previously delivered Valentine’s Day successes. His performance in Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya (2023) showcased his continued appeal in romantic and relationship-driven stories.

Meanwhile, Sunny Deol’s Border 2 remains the advance booking leader of 2026 so far, with a reported Rs 12.5 crore gross. While O Romeo is unlikely to challenge that benchmark, it is expected to comfortably surpass Rani Mukerji’s Mardaani 3, which recorded Rs 1.16 crore in pre-sales.

About The Film

O Romeo draws inspiration from Hussain Zaidi’s book Mafia Queens of Mumbai. The film explores a darker, grittier side of romance set against the backdrop of Mumbai’s post-independence underworld.

Shahid Kapoor plays Hussain Ustara, a contract killer known for his calm demeanour and deadly precision. His weapon of choice—a barber’s razor—adds a chilling layer to the character. The story takes a dramatic turn when he becomes involved with Afsha, played by Triptii Dimri. Their relationship unfolds as a tense “revenge romance”.

The film features a strong supporting cast, including Nana Patekar as Ismail Khan, Avinash Tiwary as the antagonist Jalal, and Farida Jalal as Dadi. Special appearances by Vikrant Massey, Tamannaah Bhatia, and Disha Patani further boost its star power.

The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has granted the film an ‘A’ (Adults Only) certificate due to intense violence and mature themes. This marks Shahid Kapoor’s first R-rated theatrical release since Kabir Singh.

The film also faced a legal challenge from the family of the real Hussain Ustara, who objected to the portrayal. However, courts cleared the movie for release. With a runtime of 2 hours and 58 minutes, O Romeo now heads to cinemas amid cautious box office predictions.

Whether the film can recover through strong walk-in audiences and word-of-mouth remains to be seen.
