Nearly a thousand members of Left-aligned trade unions participated in a peaceful protest march today, in solidarity against “anti-worker policies” of the NDA government.

The march was a part of activities organised by members of 10 central trade unions across India, which have called for the two-day general strike.

“Through the two-day strike we want to highlight the hardships faced by the country’s labour force due to harsh anti-worker policies of the central government,” CPI-M Goa General Secretary Christopher Fonseca told reporters.
