The indefinite strike by unions of Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) continued for the sixth day on Thursday with the agitating employees staging protests across the state. With nearly 48,000employees boycotting their duties and state-run buses staying off roads,the RTC said alternative arrangements were made to run bus servicesfrom its own fleet.
Around 11,000 vehicles including buses were being operated.
In a related development, the vacation bench of the Telangana High Court posted to October 15 the hearing on a petition that sought to declare the strike as "illegal."
In Warangal, the protesters accused the police of behaving in high-handed manner after several protesters were taken into preventive custody while they were "holding protest rally in peaceful manner."
