Tamil Nadu Private Buses Strike Over Free Travel

Times of India · business

Private bus owners in Tamil Nadu will observe a 24-hour strike from midnight to midnight. The strike is a protest against the state government's expansion of the free travel scheme for women to more government bus categories. Operators argue this will significantly impact their revenue and livelihoods. They are demanding compensation or alternative measures to protect their businesses. Thousands of private buses operate in the state, and commuters are expected to face difficulties during the one-day strike.
