Reportedly shortly after the protesting telangana State Road Transport Corporation Joint Action Committee (TSRTC-JAC) called off their strike and announced that they will be joining duties on tuesday, the TSRTC in-charge Managing director sunil sharma quickly declined their proposal and further threatened legal action if the protesting employees attempted to disrupt the bus services.
Previously the jac after 52 days called off their strike, and said that they would be reporting for duty at 6 am the next day. Hence they said that they would simultaneously continue with their protests. Furthermore despite the jac coming down and announcing that they will be returning to work without any of their 26 demands being met, TSRTC in-charge MD sunil sharma through a press release said, “The announcement of the jac that they would be joining back work from tomorrow, is ridiculous. Meanwhile on one hand they are saying that they will continue with the struggle and in the same breath have also called off the strike. Employees cannot boycott their duties and join back as per their whims and fancies in any public undertaking sector in the country.”
Moreover TSRTC workers who would be gathering at the bus depots would create trouble and disrupt the services, sunil sharma threatened, “We will install CCTV cameras in all the depots to monitor the situation. If there is any violation of the law, the government and the TSRTC management won’t forgive. We will take legal and disciplinary action.” Presently, the government is running the TSRTC by hiring temporary drivers.
