					<description><![CDATA[<p>On Monday, a two-day countrywide strike organized by a united forum of key trade unions began, disrupting banking and transportation services across the nation.  Kerala saw desolate streets, Bengal saw railroad track demonstrations, and the effects were seen in Delhi, Punjab, Andhra Pradesh, and Haryana as well. According to the Platform of Central Trade Unions and Sectoral Federations and Associations, the Bharat Bandh demonstration intends to call attention to the condemnation of policy decisions that have been labeled &#8220;anti-worker, anti-farmer, and anti-national&#8221; in a declaration. In parliament, some politicians were spotted supporting the protest.</p>
