Because of the nationwide strike, which was called by several trade unions protesting against the Centre’s economic policies, life in Tripura was affected mildly.
Officials asserted that the Government offices and banks were open and even attendance in the Civil Secretariat and Government offices weren’t affected.
No violence was recorded anywhere in the state, said Police.
There were no assembly of bandh supporters on the roads, said President of Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU), Manik Dey. He is also the Secretariat member of opposition CPI(M).
Manik Dey said, “People have responded spontaneously in support of the bandh. From our side there were no picketers on the roads to press for the bandh”.
