In an unfavourable development for Mumbai's nearly
25-lakh daily bus commuters, the deadlock between BEST workers' union
and the Maharashtra government entered eighth day on Tuesday, with
both sides failing to reach an agreement before the Bombay
High Court to end the stir.
The
high court on Monday said it would pass appropriate orders on Tuesday
on the BEST
bus strike if the union and state authorities failed to end the
deadlock, adding that "things cannot continue as they are".
The
high court bench also directed the high power committee, constituted
by the
Maharashtra
government last week to negotiate with the striking union, to
submit a report in a sealed cover clarifying its views on some of the
urgent demands of the union.
