  • डीटीसी बस चालकों की मांगों पर कोई सुनवाई नहीं हो रही है। हड़ताल अनिश्चितकाल के लिए है। सरकार ने अभी तक हमारी मांगों को लेकर कोई आश्वासन नहीं दिया है।

    घर लौट गए। बस सेवा प्रभावित होने के कारण आनंद विहार मेट्रो स्टेशन पर भी यात्रियों की संख्या बढ़ गई। टिकट काउंटर के बाहर लंबी कतारें लगी रहीं और यात्रियों को टिकट के लिए इंतजार करना पड़ा। सरकार से नहीं मिला कोई आश्वासन डीटीसी बस चालकों की मांगों पर कोई सुनवाई नहीं हो रही है। हड़ताल अनिश्चितकाल के लिए है। सरकार ने अभी तक हमारी मांगों को लेकर कोई आश्वासन नहीं दिया है। -मनोज शर्मा, महामंत्री डीटीसी कर्मचारी एकता यूनियन संबद्ध शिवसेना
