New Delhi: Around 200 workers pelted stones at a factory in Sector 5 breaking windows and damaged vehicles on the second day of the 48-hour nationwide strike, even as authorities imposed prohibitory order in the district.

Five persons have been arrested in Thursday's incident, Senior Superintendent of Police Shalabh Mathur said.

Around 100 workers had also assembled in Sector 10 industrial area and started pelting stones but police reached the spot and prevented damage to factories, he said.

"Barring these two minor incidents, no clash was reported from other places in the city," the SSP said.
