Nationwide general strike

25 Nov 2020 / India

India’s National Open Mass Convention of Workers has called a nationwide general strike for tomorrow (26 November).

Although no official notification has been received, labour unions at VOC Port (Ex. Tuticorin), as well as Paradip, Mumbai, Vizag and New Mangalore have decided to join the strike.

There is currently no indication of a strike at other ports but as government offices/employees are likely to join, operations at port offices could be affected.

Truck movements at most ports will come to a standstill, which in turn will hit cargo delivery and inter port movements.

Measures are being taken so as to ensure smooth operations for vessels currently at berth.

The impact of the strike will be minimal at private ports, with only outside movements being affected.
