Uddhav urges employees to resume duty and provide relief to commuters
The strike by Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) staff intensified on Wednesday with the opposition BJP backing the protesters even as Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray appealed to the personnel to resume duty and provide relief to commuters.
Stating that this was not the time for parties to indulge in politics, Mr. Thackeray, in a veiled rebuke to the BJP, urged them not to incite transport workers to agitate.
A statement issued by Mr. Thackeray’s office said the Government had been trying its best to give relief to MSRTC workers by accepting their demands.
