With No Solution In Sight Amid Stand Off, TSRTC JAC Calls For State Bandh on 19th October

After a six-day continuous strike by The Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) employees, the Joint Action Committee (JAC) of the union today here announced a statewide bandh on October 19th, 2019.

It is to be noted that The Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) which runs around 11,000 vehicles has come to a standstill with vehicles going off-road because of the indefinite strike called by 48,000 strong staff.

Because of the strike which plies lakhs of daily commuters, citizens are facing many problems despite the claim by the Transport Minister that RTC is making all the efforts to make alternative arrangements.
