In Erode, transport services between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka through Hasanur were affected

The two-day nationwide strike called by the central trade unions did not have much impact in the district as transportation remains largely unaffected here on Tuesday.

Most of the buses were operated as usual and shops remained opened. However, less than half of the autorickshaws stayed off the road. Banking services were hit as employees of various associations participated in the strike and staged a demonstration.

Likewise, many employees of BSNL and other Central government organisations participated in the strike. Loadmen at goods shed participated in the strike as loading and unloading from wagons were affected. Demonstrations were held in front of Central government organisations as they raised slogans against the anti-worker, anti-national policies of the government.

In Erode district, operation of buses between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka through Hasanur was affected through out the day while buses were operated as usual across the district. Employee attendance in banks remained low affecting the banking operations. However, customers waited in long queue to complete their transactions.

Dharmapuri Special Correspondent adds:

The strike in Dharmapuri witnessed road roko in Harur led by CITU along with left parties.

The protesters staged a road blockade at Harur roundtana.
