General strike on new labour codes: Protests in Hubballi and Dharwad

The article discusses a general strike organized by the CITU (Centre of Indian Trade Unions) in Hubballi and Dharwad, Karnataka, to protest against the new labour codes introduced by the government. The CITU State Secretary Mahesh Pattar stated that the new laws would remove the right to form a union, minimum wages, and the right to negotiate, which could have significant implications for workers' rights and working conditions. This strike highlights the ongoing debates and concerns around the implementation of the new labour codes, which is an important topic for competitive exam preparation.
