A Bihar Bandh (strike) called by AISA, Inquilabi Naujawan Sabha, and other leftist organizations on Saturday saw a partial impact in Barbigaha. The strike was organized to protest against the NEET exam paper leak and the alleged assault on students at Jantar Mantar in Delhi. However, most shops in Barbigaha town remained open as usual, and daily life was largely unaffected.

During the bandh, the movement of some long-distance heavy vehicles was slightly impacted, but local small and large vehicles operated normally on key routes such as Barbigaha-Mokama, Barbigaha-Barh, Barbigaha-Biharsharif, Barbigaha-Sheikhpura, and Sheikhopursarai. In the morning, bandh supporters marched through the town, appealing to shopkeepers to close their establishments, but their appeal did not have a significant effect. This indicates that the bandh did not receive widespread public support in Barbigaha.
