News pulse, Politics | admin | September 19, 2011 at 7:00 pm
The RTC has incurred a revenue loss of Rs 7 crore on a single day as its bus services stopped plying in the region, according to its managing director Prasada Rao. Meanwhile, the government had decided to allow operation of private vehicles, including buses, for transportation of public on payment of Rs 100 a day.
State-owned Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) is also losing heavily as it faced a production loss of close to 800,000 tonne in the last six days. Efforts to revive production in a few open cast mines did not yield any results as the agitators blocked the police from bringing the operators to the mine site.
The police fired teargas shells at Osmania students after blocking their rally on the campus. Students retaliated by pelting stones and damaged several vehicles. The police arrested hundreds of agitators and political activists across the region.
Close to 300,000 employees of government and public enterprises in the region are estimated to be taking part in the general strike. The strike is led by the JAC of associations of government employees, teachers and workers and is actively supported by the political JAC.
Meanwhile, an advocate filed a public interest litigation (PIL) in the AP High Court against the strike. It may be recalled that the court had already asked the state government to implement ‘no work no pay’ rule against the striking employees.
