Claim: Photo of traffic in Surat during the recent Bharat Bandh.
Fact-check: 2016 photo of odd-even parking scheme in Patna is shared as a photo of recent Bharat Bandh in Surat - FACTLY
Verdict: the photo is on the internet since 2016, it was found on an article which was about an odd-even parking scheme in patna. samyukta kisan morcha, a farmer body with nearly 40 farmer unions had called for a 10-hour bandh  on 27 september 2021 to mark one year since the president's assent to the three farm laws. there are visuals of heavy traffic on mumbai-ahmedabad highway and the bandh caused disruptions in traffic movement in several other cities. gujarat largely remained peaceful during the bharat bandh. however, there were reports of surat-mumbai and ahmedabad-rajkot highways being blocked briefly affecting traffic movement in few areas. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
