Strike Alert: Banking, Transport Services Likely to Be Hit Today

A major nationwide strike is underway today as labour unions across India protest against what they describe as anti-worker and anti-farmer policies of the government. Several central trade unions have extended support to the strike, alleging that recent reforms favour corporate interests at the cost of workers’ rights and rural communities. Organisers claim that over 300 million workers are expected to participate in the protest action, making it one of the largest coordinated labour strikes in recent years. The agitation is aimed at opposing labour law reforms, privatisation policies, and measures perceived as weakening job security and social protections. Disruptions are anticipated in key sectors including banking and public transport services. There may also be an impact on government offices and public sector operations. However, essential services such as healthcare, emergency services, and utilities are expected to function normally. The strike highlights growing tensions between labour organisations and the government over economic and employment policies.
