 "Hyderabad: Agitating Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) get their heads tonsured during their ongoing strike, in Hyderabad, Wednesday, Oct. 16, 2019")
This refers to “Telangana bus strike: HC tells TSRTC employees, govt to hold talks” (October 16). That two employees of the Telangana Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) have committed suicide following the tough stand taken by the state government to dismiss over 48,000 striking employees is most unfortunate. However, the demands of the employees are not reasonable either. The fact that they chose to go on strike from October 5 that coincides with the festival season made their intentions abundantly clear — to cause maximum inconvenience to the public and arm twist the government into acceding to their demands.
