How are HR’s and administrators across the country, dealing with this ? I wish to hear from every sector.

Actually (Cite Contribution), nice initiative. We as HR should know.
It is a little sad to think that there are employers who wouldn't want to shut off their offices. Sure closing offices might lead to a huge loss but what loss can be greater than a loss of life.
I don't mean to say that someone who's going to strong to commute to office is going to get killed. But the situations becomes too rowdy at times.
I heard autos, taxis and buses to halt services and there may be a rail roko aandolan.
What would a poor employee who stays far off the city having no personal vehicle to commute would do on the day?
Sure the firms would want to keep the offices open, esppecially smaller firms. But understanding plight of people coming from far suburbs should be given consideration.
Honestly, the order has to be passed from above. Since we are in news intelligence for a particular segment / industry we cannot remain shut completely. But I would suggest to my firm to allow the editorial team to take laptops home so that if they cannot move out of their place, they can work-from-home. The marketing managers have office phones and so they too can share their database to their email so that they can work tomorrow from home for worst case scenario. The IT people can be contacted in case of bugs on site. Accounts people are not so work pressured with targets so it shouldn't matter much. At the same time if there are people who cannot reach office the taken leave shouldn't be deducted from the leaves credited to them as this was a beyond-my-reach situation. The bandh was not declared by the absent employee at the end.
I am hoping for the best.

Just finding out what others companies are doing. most of the time, it will have a cascading effect, if one company shuts there are high probability that other cos in atleast in the vicinity and same sector sure to follow. so , it is a wait and watch game. fingers crossed!!

Hello Pavithra,
Ours is the Automobile Manufacturing company. We have already taken care while doing the agreement with the union.
We have kept a clause in an agreemnent saying, if union want to take part or support any strike declared nationally/steat level/or locally they can take the part. but they have to work on any replacement day decided by management.
But tomorrow our union is not taking part in strike so we are working.
