Barring Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) buses, all modes of public transport vehicles kept off the road.

The pro-BJP Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS) workers abstained from the protest.

The strike on the last day of the financial year crippled the movement of the general public, traders and office-goers hailing from the interior and hilly pockets of the district.

However, private vehicles, including cars and two-wheelers, plied without any hindrance.

Attendance not affected

The strike did not impact attendance in the District Collectorate, other government offices and banks.

The agitating trade union activists took out a protest march in Kasaragod and Kanhangad earlier in the day.
