Normal life remained unaffected so far in Goa on Wednesday on the day of a nationwide strike called by 10 central trade unions to protest against the government's "anti-people" policies.
Various labour unions held a public meeting under the banner of the 'Goa Convention of Workers' at the Azad Maidan in Panaji.
Most of the banks, including nationalised ones, are functioning normally, while only a few private industries recorded low attendance.
Addressing a gathering of around 2,000 people at the Azad Maidan, AITUC general secretary Christopher Fonseca appealed to workers to protest against the "anti-labour policies of the Central government."
He said "pro-capitalist" policies of the Centre have "broken the backbone of the working class."
