Millions of Indian shopkeepers, traders and lorry drivers are expected to join a nationwide strike to protest against reforms including allowing in foreign supermarkets such as Walmart.
Opposition parties and trade unions called for a strike on Thursday after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh last week announced a raft of reforms designed to revive India’s slowing economy in a move that has sparked a furious backlash.
The Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) forecast that 50 million people would participate in the protest, with large demonstrations planned in the capital New Delhi and scores of other cities.
