Mixed Response to Nationwide Strike Across Assam

A nationwide strike by ten central trade unions saw varied impact across Assam on Wednesday. In Guwahati, transport services collapsed as drivers protested the Centre’s “anti-worker” policies. Khanapara witnessed massive demonstrations. Districts like Biswanath observed near-total shutdowns, while Jorhat, Nalbari, and Silchar reported partial effects. Protesters demanded higher wages and protection of workers’ rights. Despite disruptions, law and order remained under control.
