💨 Abstract

A strike by DTC contractual bus drivers and conductors in Delhi caused major public transportation disruptions on Monday. The strike was due to demands for equal pay, better working conditions, and regularization of jobs. The protest began over the weekend when female employees at the newly inaugurated all-women 'Sakhi Bus Depot' in Sarojini Nagar demanded equal pay and job security, highlighting wage disparities between permanent and contractual staff.
