June 14, 2016 10:18

The Himachal Road and Transport Corporation went on a two-day strike starting Tuesday morning over several demands, including regularisation of contract staff and protection of pension benefits.

Even as the Himachal Pradesh High Court called the strike as "illegal" and directed the employees to refrain from participating in the demonstration, nearly 8,000 employees went on the strike that would keep over 2,800 HRTC buses off road.

As many as 11 HRTC unions have formed a joint action committee, demanding roadways statues and many other demands.
