The RTC Joint Action Committee (JAC) has announced a strike set to begin at midnight following unsuccessful talks with the Telangana State Government and the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TGSRTC) management. The discussions, which involved key union representatives like chairman Eduru Venkanna and office bearer Thomas Reddy, focused on long-standing demands related to worker welfare, including pay revision, the procurement of electric buses, and the merger of staff with the Telangana government. However, the parties could not reach an agreement, leading to the decision to strike. This action is expected to disrupt thousands of bus services across the state, affecting commuters and highlighting ongoing labor issues within the transport sector.
