Sixth Pay commission, met strong resentment from various roadways associations and more than 500 buses remained off road.

The impact of the ‘chakka jam’ of the buses from the midnight, was clearly visible as passengers kept facing difficulties in travelling. Owing to the strike, heavy rush on trains and Kanpur Central was witnessed. Many could not reach the desired venues on time, whereas several persons were compelled to change their schedule and postpone their trips in wake of the strike.

Protests over the issue was witnessed at bus depots. The bus stations and bus depots, however, wore a deserted look with most of the passengers staying away from bus trips owing to the strike.

The roadways employees have been demanding for the implementation of Sixth Pay Commission, increasing the retirement age from 58 to 60. More than 500 buses commute to various routes across the state including Lucknow, Allahabad, Fatehpur, Jhansi and Agra.

However, the strike was called off on Tuesday evening after the employees were assured that there demands would be taken into consideration.
