CUDDALORE: Regardless of the general strike observed on Thursday for the cause of the Sri Lankan Tamils, the election process went on as usual in both Cuddalore and Villupuram districts.
However, in both the districts buses, vans, and taxis were off the road. But for a few autorickshaws and share-autos there was not much of vehicular movement.
The strike did not have any impact on the functioning of the Neyveli Lignite Corporation as employees turned up for the shifts as scheduled. The shops and establishments, big commercial centres and vegetable markets remained closed.
The cinemas cancelled the morning and matinee shows. The educational institutions too suspended the classes and special classes for the 10th standard students.
