Motor Strike total in Kerala

The dawn-to-dusk motor transport strike called by the joint action council of transport workers to protest against the hike in petrol price hit normal life in Kerala on Friday. The city and its suburbs wore a deserted look, as public and private vehicles stayed off the road. Only a few two-wheelers and private cars were seen on the roads. No public mode of transport was available including the services operated by the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) and the private buses. Various trade unions staged protest marches through out the state.
