Building a Wider
Horizon With Labour
The nationwide dawn-to-dusk bandh called by trade unions on Friday hit normal life in many parts of Odisha. The bandh passed off peacefully barring a few stray incidents. Accusing the Centre of not paying heed to its 12-point charter of demands and describing the NDA government as anti-worker, members of the trade unions staged protests across the state. People in mining and industrial towns mostly bore the brunt of the bandh because of the large presence of trade unions. Mining operations in Joda, Barbil and Koida areas were suspended.
