Associated Management of Primary and Secondary Schools in Karnataka is also in favor of the bandh and is yet to make a decision on whether to declare a holiday for schools or not. Students will get a confirmation about the school holiday either by the evening of September 25 or the early hours of September 26.

Emergency services like hospitals and pharmacies shall continue to work on September 26. On the other hand, metro services and government offices will stay in operation irrespective of the bandh. However, there is no clarity on public transport like buses and the decision to operate buses or not shall be taken basis the situation on September 26.

As protests are being organized by opposition parties and farmers in the city, the traffic might be disrupted which may cause inconvenience.
