Udupi: A nationwide strike called by ten central trade unions began peacefully across the district on Wednesday, September 2.

Limited autorickshaws, taxis, private four wheelers and two wheelers were plying on the road.
Karnataka Karmika Vedike Udupi district members took out a procession from City bus-stand to Kinnimulky and convinced the public to support the strike.
