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.
