Transport employees in Tamil Nadu declare an open-ended strike, demanding the reinstatement of the previous pension system and an updated dearness allowance for retirees. They are also advocating discussions on the 15th Pay Commission. The strike, preceding the Pongal festival, is anticipated to cause disruption, given the significant role of the state’s extensive fleet of 22,000 government buses, including 3,200 in Chennai, during the festive rush.
