Public dealings at some bank branches were hit and transport services were affected as thousands of workers began a two-day nationwide strike
Public dealings at some bank branches were hit and public transport services were thrown out of gear in states like West Bengal, Kerala and Tamil Nadu as thousands of workers on Monday began a two-day nationwide strike to protest against policies of the government.
However, essential services like healthcare, electricity and fuel supplies remained unaffected.
Public offices as well as educational institutions were not impacted by the strike called by nearly a dozen trade unions.
Some bank branches, particularly in cities with a strong trade union movement, did very limited over-the-counter public dealings such as cash deposits and withdrawals.
