More than 25 crore workers from banking, insurance, postal services, coal mining, and highways sectors have called for a nationwide strike to protest against 'pro-corporate policies.'
Various trade unions are participating in the strike, including central trade unions and other organizations, aiming to address issues like decreased worker rights and high unemployment rates.
Services likely to be affected by the strike include banking, insurance, postal services, public transport, government offices, and public sector units.
The National Stock Exchange and BSE are expected to operate as usual, while schools, colleges, private offices will remain open; protester demands include stopping the implementation of four new labor codes and improving job opportunities.
