Telangana RTC strike | A transport system stuck in breakdown mode

Six years after a prolonged shutdown in 2019, an indefinite strike by Telangana State Road Transport Corporation employees has once again brought the States public transport system to a halt, leaving nearly 65 lakh commuters stranded.
