Commuters were hit as about 52,000 employees of the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC), led by the Telangana Mazdoor Union (TMU), began an indefinite strike on Saturday with a demand to merge TSTRC with the state government, owing to losses suffered by the corporation. The protest began at the risk of employees losing their jobs, which the state government said would happen if they don’t report to their duties by 6 pm on Saturday.
The indefinite strike comes just three days prior to Dussehra, and is likely to impact thousands of people from city, who would have otherwise travelled back home to their villages for the festival. E. Ashwathama Reddy, chairman of the joint action committee (JAC) of the Telangana RTC employees and unions said that the strike will continue till the governments meets their demands.
