Banking and roadways services were partially affected as members of trade unions joined the strike.

A demonstration was held in front of the LIC Building in Jaipur.

Members of the banking sector and LIC participated in the demonstration, Mahesh Mishra, a representative of bank employees union, said.

Rajasthan roadways employees affiliated with CITU also participated in the 'Bharat bandh'.
