Essential services, including banking, insurance and telecommunication, were affected in South Coastal Andhra Pradesh as the two-day Bharat Bandh, called by Central trade unions in protest against the alleged anti-worker policies of the Narendra Modi government, began on Monday.
Striking work, employees in various sectors held massive processions in, among other cities, Nellore and Ongole and raised slogans to press for scrapping of new labour codes and saving public sector units, including the Sri Damodaram Sanjeevaiah Thermal Power Plant and the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant.
