At least 10 trade unions across the country are protesting against the government’s economic policies. They are blocking train tracks and shutting down banks as they rally against Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s labour reforms.
Among the most disaffected are farmers. Rural poverty has become a major issue, with suicide rates high among farmers struggling with debt.
