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.
 
State's transport secretary Alapon Banerjee told IBNS, "We have decided to run extra government owned buses (CSTC and CTC) tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Private luxury cabs including OLA, UBER, MERU and MEGA will be run in sufficient numbers in these two days."
