Vehicular traffic came to a standstill at many important junctions across Kerala on Monday following a 15-minute motor strike called by the Joint Action Committee of Trade Unions to protest against the hike in price of the petroleum products by oil majors. At designated points, trade union leaders led the strike and halted their vehicles in the road corridors for 15 minutes from 11 a.m. in response to the call given by the joint action committee. Several motorists were caught in traffic snarls as auto rickshaws, taxies, lorries and private stage carriers stopped the vehicles and the drivers joined the stir.More Related News
