Telangana Gig Workers Announce Flash Strike During Peak Hours

On Thursday, gig workers across Telangana announced a flash strike scheduled for the day's peak hours. The announcement was made through social media groups and messaging apps commonly used by the workforce. The strike, set to occur during the busiest period for delivery and ride‑hailing services, is expected to affect commuters and businesses that rely on gig workers for last‑mile logistics. While the workers have not yet specified demands, the move reflects growing tensions in the gig economy over wages, safety and working conditions. Service providers have urged workers to resume normal operations and are monitoring the situation closely, with authorities yet to issue a statement.
