<h1>Trade unions nationwide strike demanding withdrawal of four labor codes and Rs 26,000 minimum wage</h1> Trade unions across the country called a nationwide strike protesting government labor policies, demanding withdrawal of four labor codes, increased minimum wages to Rs 26,000 monthly, and farmer loan waivers. While normal life remained largely unaffected in most regions, sporadic violence occurred in certain areas where activists clashed with police and political supporters. The strike impacted banking, insurance, postal, and mining sectors, with unions claiming 25 crore workers participated. Several states experienced partial shutdowns, particularly affecting transportation and commercial activities. Banking services faced disruptions with cheque clearances delayed, while insurance operations saw reduced premium collections and claims processing. Markets in the capital remained operational despite the protest action.
