Kerala witnesses a total shutdown as trade unions protest against the Centre's 'anti-labour' policies.
CPI(M)-ruled Kerala experiences a complete shutdown with private vehicles being the only mode of transport on the roads.
Protesters, representing various trade unions, block buses and autos in different parts of the state, leading to a deserted look on the roads.
Essential services like healthcare and emergency services are exempted from the strike, while shops, businesses, and government offices remain closed in support of the nationwide general strike called by trade unions.
