INTUC Buses to Operate Uninterrupted During Tamil Nadu Transport Strike
Amid the ongoing Tamil Nadu Transport strike, INTUC buses will operate uninterrupted for public benefit during Pongal.
Tamil Nadu transport unions have declared a strike with a 6-point agenda as talks with the government have concluded unsuccessfully.
However, INTUC buses will operate interrupted, as the AICC-affiliated trade body has declared in a public statement.
It has announced that it will withdraw from the strike in order not to affect the people during the upcoming Pongal festival.
CITU union executive, Chelandararajan, has confirmed that no buses would operate from midnight today.
After failed negotiations, 25 unions within the transport sector initiated the Tamil Nadu Transport Strike on January 9.
Simultaneously, the government is making arrangements to run buses without compromising passenger safety.
