Trade unions' strike unprecedented: Gurudas Dasgupta

      CPI leader Gurudas Dasgupta called the trade unions' strike unprecedented and said the government had not tried to reach out to unions. 'The strike across the country is unprecedented. Autos and taxis are off the roads. Bank, insurance, telecom is closed. All oil supply is being stopped in Delhi. Unfortunately, violence is being used. The treasurer of union of Haryana Roadways has been brutally murdered in Ambala,' Dasgupta said.

    The 48-hour bandh call given by 11 trade unions has affected Odisha. Train services and public transport system are the worst hit due to the strike. In Kerala, it seemed like a complete shutdown with no buses, taxis plying on roads. Mumbai remained normal and was unaffected by the bandh.
