The contractors supply buses to PMPML. Some contractors had gone on strike without giving prior intimation from Sunday demanding immediate payment of pending dues of ₹90 crore. Eight lakh passengers were affected by the strike. PMPML’s senior officials had started negotiations with the contractors. The contractors had said that they will allow the buses to operate only after the dues are paid.
If the strike had continued, it would have affected students appearing for SSC and HSC exams. Against this background, a delegation of BJP and MVA had met Chairman and MD of PMPML Omprakash Bakoria on Monday. The PMC gave ₹54 crore and PCMC gave ₹36 crore. Out of this amount, ₹66 crore was given to the contractors and the remaining amount was given to MNGL as pending dues. The contractors later withdrew their strike.
