MSRTC employees are on the stroke demanding merger of the transport undertaking with the State government
Employees at more than 40 bus depots of the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) continued their strike on November 4, even as the Bombay High Court has directed them to refrain from doing so, officials said.
Till 10 am, over 40 of the 250 depots of the MSRTC were shut due to the employees' strike over their main demand for the merger of the transport undertaking with the state government, they said.
A section of the MSRTC employees is on an unannounced strike since October 28 seeking merger of the cash-strapped corporation with the State government, according to union sources.

On November 30, a team of officials from the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), Water Resources Department (WRD) and Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (CMWSSB) conducted a joint inspection of a rainwater vent below the Chennai Bypass Road in Thiruneermalai. This marks the second time NHAI and WRD have carried out an inspection following a request being made by residents. They want NHAI to widen the vent located below the Bypass Road to facilitate rainwater drainage from ‘Nattukalvai’. The office bearers of the Federation of Welfare Associations accompanied the officials.
