speedmiester · 21st July 2008, 16:47

I just received a email about the Cab drivers strike who cater to the IT/BPO sector.
Guess the roads will be free of these maniacs behind the wheels for sometime.cheers:

Yippieee....

Now the icing on the cake would be an Auto strike.

Waiting for such a day to come.

finneyp · 21st July 2008, 16:49

Anyways you cant be dreaming always

speedmiester · 21st July 2008, 16:56

From what I heard, the strike has already started and its an indefinite strike.

Spitfire · 21st July 2008, 16:57

Why are they on strike?

lambuhere1 · 21st July 2008, 17:01

Company buses are delayed or slowed down. Thats what I heard just now. Appears that ORR SRR ring road is jammed. Will keep you posted

Guru,

I take the ring road via hebbal to home everyday, pls update soon

sammyboy · 21st July 2008, 17:51

hee hee makes me feel good i decided to work from home today

deepakhon · 21st July 2008, 17:55

Why is the road jammed if there are less number of cabbies?

Anyway, I have a feeling that my car might suddenly discover that it has 4th and 5th gears too...

Last update i had was at about 4:00pm and the Nagavara Junction and Hennur Junction were apparently normal. No traffic block or slowdown.

The strike looks to be officially on since mid-night. The mails from admin departments have started, saying that there is a strike and transportation is affected.

Strike is supposed to be by the drivers union.

santhosh_kumard · 21st July 2008, 18:33

No idea of why is the strike. But it is called up by
'Unregistered drivers union'. Probably to get them 'registered'/'licensed to kill' ;-).

Ah!. I shall take my car into city tomorrow then...
