Overview
- TGSRTC employees restarted services Saturday morning after a three‑day walkout over 32 demands.
- All‑night talks led by Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka produced a deal with an about 10–11 percent pay fitment, permission for recognised union elections, and a committee to examine merging RTC staff into government service.
- Reports differ on how many demands were accepted, with Telangana Today citing 29 of 32 and Deccan Chronicle reporting all 32.
- The corporation is tallying losses, with a Telangana Today estimate putting the three‑day revenue hit near Rs 35 crore.
- The stoppage escalated after a driver died by self‑immolation in Warangal on Friday, as authorities kept limited service running by outsourcing about 1,000 buses including roughly 450 electric vehicles.
