The Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation spokesperson, on Thursday morning, said that regular operations across all depots in the state have resumed. On Wednesday evening, the workers of MSRTC called off their strike after Chief Minister Eknath Shinde assured them of a salary hike--one of their primary demands.
The spokesperson of MSRTC said, "All 251 depots have resumed regular operations this morning. Buses coming to Mumbai for more traffic have left from that depot and today and tomorrow more traffic will pass smoothly without any hindrance."
