The 8-days old strike of the state transport employees withdrawn
Even after the Chennai High Court ordered that state government transport employees to join duty, the strike by them has continued for another 5 days.

However, the strike is being withdrawn tonight (Thursday, 11th January).

Demanding the wage revision and the pending pension payments, the state government transport employees went on strike since the last 8 days. Hence, the full strength of buses could not be operated. With the ensuing Pongal festive holidays, there is a situation where the public could not undertake visits to their native places, during this occasion and put to great hardship. So, a case was filed in the court against the strike.

The Chennai High Court has appointed the retired Judge E. Padmanabhan to find a solution to this issue of the strike. Subsequently, the High Court ordered that the employees should report for duty and must withdraw the strike.
