Few RTC staffers return to work across Telangana

Few striking TSRTC employees reported for duty across the State on Tuesday, but a clear picture on the number of employees returning to work would only emerge after midnight when the deadline set by Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao ends.

Officials said the figures from various depots across the State would be tabulated past the deadline, after which the exact number of employees who reported for duty will be known.

Meanwhile, the TSRTC unions remained adamant that they will not relent in their ongoing strike despite Chief Minister’s



appeal to RTC workers to return to work by Tuesday midnight.

Around 100 RTC workers from different categories are reported to have submitted their letters on Tuesday with a bulk of them doing so at Bus Bhavan, the TSRTC headquarters here in the city. 

Reports of conductors, drivers and other staff submitting such letters were received by evening from Mirayalaguda, Hayathnagar, Medak, Godavarikhani, Siddipet, Medchal, Ranga Reddy, Asifabad, Nizamabad, and Karimnagar bus depots and RTC offices.
