Long queues were seen at Metro stations and bus stands.

"I had to stand in the queue at INA Metro station for around 45 minutes as most people decided to take the Metro following the strike. By the time I reached office, I was late by an hour," Shikha Tiwari, who works at an airline company at Connaught Place, said. The Delhi Jal Board said there was no disruption in water supply. The Delhi Police ensured necessary security arrangement at bus depots to protect the buses against vandalism. Officials said protesters damaged a DTC bus in Azadpur and punctured tyres of four buses. Non-medical staff at a number of state-run hospitals joined the strike partially affecting their functioning, they said. Arrival of fruits and vegetables at the Azadpur Sabzi wholesale market was partially affected due to the strike.
