Farmers are observing 'Bharat Bandh' today to mark the completion of four months of their agitation against the central farm laws.

The bandh, called by the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM), will be observed till 6 pm.

Roads and trains will be blocked and services are expected to remain suspended, except for ambulance and other essential services.
