Strike on naval dockyards at Bombay, British Indies seemed to be ended according to the U.S. Joint Intelligence Committee daily summary dated 1 May 1942

An item reported that the serious strike by the employees of the naval dockyards at Bombay, British Indies came to an end while 60% of the 6.000 involved employees started to work again. The strike starting with violence lasted from 21 until 27 April and was a good example of the general unrest among the labourers which grew since the war was approaching.
