Tens of millions strike in India in battle for higher wages
Reports suggest more than 150 million workers have gone on strike against the government's economic reforms
Millions of public sector workers have gone on strike in India to protest against the government’s economic policies.
Public transport was disrupted and state-run banks, power stations and factories were closed as 10 trade unions called nationwide walkouts.
Reports suggested more than 150 million workers were taking part in the industrial action but the figure had not been confirmed.
"This strike is against the central government, this strike is for the cause of the working people," Ramen Pandey, president of West Bengal Indian National Trade Union Congress, told Al Jazeera.
