The regular buzz at the wholesale agricultural produce market in Vashi was missing on Wednesday, as mathadi workers across the state went on a one-day strike. After a meeting held at Mathadi Bhavan, Vashi on May 23, the Maharashtra State Mathadi Transport and General Kamgar union had called for a strike on May 28.

There was no supply of agricultural produce during the day, as trade unions knew of the protest called by the mathadi workers. Pic/Pradeep Dhivar
