Guwahati: Normal life
was affected in different parts of Assam on Wednesday on the first day of the
two-day nation-wide strike called by Central trade unions.
While buses operated
by private owners kept off the roads across the state, city buses began to ply
as the day progressed along with the state-run buses.
Shops were closed in
most areas, official sources said.
Shared taxi trekker
service and cycle-rickshaws though they joined the strike call were operating a
skeleton service, the sources said.
The auto-rickshaw
union, however, decided to ply their vehicles in consideration of the
difficulties to be faced by students taking the ongoing high school and higher
secondary school leaving examinations.
Banks remained closed
with employees keeping away from their work place, they said.
Train services
operated as per schedule, N-F Railway sources said.
Flights also took off
and landed as usual at the Lokppriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport
here and five other airports in the state, they added.
No untoward incident
has been reported so far.
