Along with that strike NESO had called a separate strike for 11 hours protesting against the Citizenship Bill, ended with massive violence fueled by police firing which left 6 youths injured.
Then protesting against police firing regional parties have called for another strike today in ADC areas. As a result section-144 had be implemented in those areas.
