Large scale disruption in bus services as Telangana RTC employees launch indefinite strike

Large scale disruptions in the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation’s (TGSRTC) bus services were witnessed on Wednesday (April 22, 2026) from morning, with workers of the state-run transport undertaking going on an indefinite stir. They demanded that they be treated as State government employees, citing delays in pay revision and other worker welfare-related issues.

Over the past few weeks, the TGSRTC workers’ union, which took the shape of a joint action committee (JAC), had threatened to go on strike if their demands were not met. A strike notice had been issued in the run-up to the stir, with the union stating that boycotting duties was a last resort after talks with authorities failed on Tuesday night.
