Himachal Road Transport Corp goes on strike
The Himachal Road and Transport Corporation (HRTC) went on a two-day strike starting Tuesday over demands like the regularisation of contract staff and protection of pension benefits. The strike, involving nearly 8,000 employees, would keep over 2,800 HRTC buses off the road. Notably, the Himachal Pradesh High Court has declared the strike as illegal and asked for its immediate withdrawal.
