Charholi Residents Protest Proposed Town Planning, Call for Bandh
Imagine the city wants to make some changes in a town called Charholi.
They have plans that could take away some land from the people who live there.
The people are not happy because they have already lost land to other projects before.
They are worried about losing more land and how it will affect their farms and homes.
They are protesting and have decided to close down the town on Friday to show the city how they feel.
Some city leaders also think the new plans are not a good idea and might make things worse.
The city says they want to make things better, but the people are still worried.
