Life limped back to normal in the State as the intensity of the 48-hour national strike waned late Tuesday.
Wayside eateries and restaurants hesitantly opened for business as the forceful strike by the Congress and left trade unions against the Centre's labour policy edged to a close at midnight.
A spattering of autorickshaws, cars and two-wheelers took to the roads warily, despite forbidding television reports of strike supporters challenging motorists, turning back employees from their workplaces, closing shops, disrupting private banking and movement of freight and deflating tyres of taxis, trucks and transport buses.
