On Friday, the Left-affiliated parties have called for a nation-wide strike to protest the current government's "anti-labour" policies. Trade unions are likely to be joined by workers of six public sector banks. Many people are predicting that the possible fallout of the strike could result into a shutdown of banks, factories and government offices across the country.
In New Delhi, essential services such as banking and transport are likely to be hit on Friday as 10 central trade unions go on a one-day nationwide strike, protesting against "anti-worker" changes in l
abour
laws and the Centre's "indifference" to their demands for better wages.
Opposing the country-wide strike called by central trade unions, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said her government will take strongest possible action against "miscreants" who try to disrupt public life and will ensure compensation for damage to shops or vehicles.
"Bengal will not be stopped on 2 September, 2016. On 2 September, all educational institutions, shops, institutions, offices and factories will remain open. Vehicles will ply normally and public transport will not be hindered. There will be strongest possible action against any miscreant who will try to disrupt public life," Banerjee tweeted.
