Panaji: The nationwide strike call given by the trade unions against the Centre’s labour code evoked a mixed response in Goa, with banking operations being affected while essential services functioned smoothly.
Nationalised banks remained closed on Thursday, along with the offices of insurance services in the coastal state.
All India Trade Union Congress Secretary Suhas Naik told GNH that industrial units across various places in Goa were partially affected.
“The labour unions shut down work in different industrial estates as a mark of support for the strike call,” he said.
Naik stated that there was no impact on essential services. “The public transport system worked without any effect,” he said.
Life across Goa remained unaffected on Thursday. The labour unions held a protest march in the capital city of Panaji.
The protest march started near the Kadamba Bus Stand in Panaji and proceeded to Azad Maidan in the city.
