- Low turnout for India’s national two-day strike as 50 million join protests notes about repression of the strike are only afterthoughts:
The states of Kerala and West Bengal banned government employees from joining the strike, and Maharashtra invoked an emergency law banning the 80,000 workers in its power companies from striking.
The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) congratulates the working class for the successful 48-hour general strike held on March 28-29. Millions of workers responded to the call given by 10 Central Trade Unions and various sectoral federations.
Note: The 250 million number got removed from the original article I found it in.
The strike follows the 2020 general strike which might've been the largest in history till that moment
