Kolkata, Dec 2 (IBNS): The Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M)'s labour wing Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) has called for a two-day-long taxi strike on several issues in Kolkata on Thursday and Friday.
Four other organisations including the Bengal Taxi Association (BTA) have supported the strike.
Meanwhile, West Bengal government are taking steps to foil the taxi-strike.
