Telangana set to restore RTC bus service for nearly 65 lakh passengers as Maharashtra ends statewide walkout by government and education staff
A three-day strike that halted TGSRTC bus services ended late on April 25 after talks between the Telangana government and RTC unions. Officials and RTC JAC leaders met Friday, and restoration of bus operations is expected from Saturday morning. The agreement followed intense negotiations late Friday night. The stoppage had disrupted travel plans for nearly 65 lakh daily passengers, and participants at the meeting paid respects to K Shankar Goud, a driver who died during the protests.
In Maharashtra, a statewide indefinite strike by government employees, semi-government staff, and teaching and non-teaching personnel that began April 21 was called off on April 23 after a meeting with Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. The decision followed the administration’s agreement to address key demands. With settlements in Telangana and Maharashtra following direct talks with state leaders, essential public services in two Indian states are moving toward full restoration.
