Kerala Stands Still: Trade Unions Strike Impacts Daily Life
Kerala witnessed significant disruption to daily life today as trade unions across the nation launched a 24-hour strike to protest what they perceive as detrimental anti-labour policies. The impact was widely felt as schools, shops, and offices remained closed, leaving streets and roads eerily deserted.
Public Transport Comes to a Halt
The strike significantly impacted public transportation, with buses and other public vehicles staying off the roads. This left many commuters stranded and further contributed to the quiet atmosphere across the state. The usually bustling streets of Kerala’s major cities fell silent as the strike took hold.
Workers Unite for Their Rights
Workers from various sectors joined the nationwide strike, demonstrating a unified front against the government’s labour policies. Union leaders emphasized the need for dialogue and urged the government to reconsider its stance on these critical issues.
