Impact of general strike on port operations

Workers at some ports in India have joined the nationwide general strike called today (26 November) by India’s National Open Mass Convention of Workers.

At Vizag, dock labour have not reported for duty and stevedores have not engaged private winchmen to operate ships’ gear. As a result, cargo operations are standstill at conventional berths.

Due to agitation outside the port gates at Paradip, outward movements and inter port movements are affected.

At other ports, the impact of the strike has minimal with port operations happening as usual.
