Left-affiliated trade unions in Jadavpur, Kolkata, participated in a nationwide Bharat Bandh, staging a foot march to protest against what they describe as anti-worker policies.
The protests, held across India, targeted both the BJP and Trinamool Congress governments. The unions central grievance is that recent economic reforms are eroding workers rights, dismantling labour protections, and promoting privatisation at the expense of job security.
The march in Jadavpur formed part of a wider demonstration involving ten central trade unions, highlighting widespread concerns about the impact of these policies on the Indian workforce. The protests reportedly took place successfully across the country.
