Metro Bus employees block track
The employees of Metro Bus Service (MBS) blocked the track of the service in protest over non-payment of salaries for more than three months. Passengers faced difficulties owing to the stoppage. The workers halted the bus operation in protest and staged a sit-in on the track in order to get their salaries issued. The administration called police to take action against the protesting employees. Subsequently, the bus service was restored after the track was cleared by police. The protestors said they have been sent to police station for demanding their rightful dues.
