40 agitating city bus workers held, bus service resumes


BHUBANESWAR: Following two days strike by Dream Team-run city bus employees demanding their reinstatement and over time wages, police arrested 40 agitating employees on the third days of their strike on Friday here. After the arrest, city buses have started plying in the capital and its other routes.

On Thursday, keeping eye on security of the buses, along with drivers and conductors, the operators had cancelled the bus service from all the routes. While the sacked employees with present staff sat on a dharna at the Master Canteen depot opposing misbehave and imposing of fine without showing any appropriate reason of the company officials.

Protesting the police arrest, CITU members and supporters agitated in front of the office of Deputy Commissioners of Police (DCP) here to release the arrested city bus workers. The organization said the police have not done justice by arresting the innocent city bus workers, who were demanding for their cause.

After two and half days’ discontinue service of city buses, finally it resumed its service which relaxed the commuters of the city along with the outside passengers.
