The industrial strike by Organised Labour on Monday had a significant impact on various state institutions and agencies in the Cape Coast Metropolis.
The usual hustle and bustle typically at the Kotokoraba central business district was absent, with vehicles moving sporadically.
Organised Labour on Friday declared indefinite strike to protest the proposed sale of 60 per cent of four SSNIT hotels but called it off on Monday after a crunch meeting.
Within the Ministries enclave, the Ghana News Agency observed that many institutions had their doors closed with red bands hanging on them.
However, amidst this lull, the Central Regional Directorate of the Ghana Education Service (GES), Controller and the Ghana Immigration Service remained diligently operational and were attending to clients.
Mr Ernest Smith Arkoh, a recently posted teacher, conveyed appreciation towards the Ghana Education Service (GES) for promptly addressing the needs of newly assigned teachers who had travelled from various parts of the region to finalise their placements.
Meanwhile, at the Central Regional Library, young Celestine Asiamah Aboagye, a patron of the facility, lamented its closure.
Several other patrons, who chose to remain anonymous, urged the government to heed to the concerns raised of Organised Labour and accordingly address them.
The Central Regional Court Complex mirrored the quiet atmosphere, with its entrances firmly shut, leaving patrons who had travelled from far, visibly disheartened, and frustrated.
