DIMAPUR, JANUARY 7 (MExN): The Deputy Commissioner of Mokokchung has issued a travel advisory to the public in view of the all India bandh called by the Central Trade Unions on January 8, Wednesday.
The advisory issued by the Mokokchung DC informed commuters travelling from Mokokchung to different parts of the state to avoid travelling via Assam on the said date.
The Dimapur Chamber of Commerce and Industries had informed on Monday that the bandh is unlikely to take effect in the State of Nagland.
Trade unions INTUC, AITUC, HMS, CITU, AIUTUC, TUCC, SEWA, AICCTU, LPF, UTUC along with various sectoral independent federations and associations had adopted a declaration in September last to go on a nationwide strike on January 8, 2020.
“We expect participation of not less than 25 crore of working people in the forthcoming National General Strike on January 8, 2020, to be followed by many more actions seeking reversal of the anti-worker, anti-people, anti-national policies of the Government,” the 10 central trade unions (CTUs) said in a joint statement.
“The Ministry of Labour has failed to assure on any of the demands of workers which called a meeting on January 2, 2020. The attitude of the government is that of contempt towards labour as we construe from its policies and actions,” it added.
