Delhi Transport Corporation buses have been suspended across the city after drivers staged a strike for the second consecutive day, disrupting daily commutes.
Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) drivers went on strike for the second day in a row, leading to a complete halt of bus services across the capital. The walkout began early in the morning, with workers demanding better wages and improved working conditions.
Commuters faced significant inconvenience as all DTC routes were suspended. Many residents turned to auto-rickshaws, private buses and metro trains to reach their destinations, causing a surge in traffic and congestion on major roads.
The DTC management has called for an urgent meeting with the union to resolve the dispute. Meanwhile, the Delhi government has urged both parties to reach a quick settlement to restore normalcy.
This strike follows a series of labour disputes in the public transport sector, highlighting ongoing tensions between workers and authorities over pay and safety provisions.
