Maharashtra: Commuters suffer as state transport bus drivers strike work in Thane
Prabhakar Gaikwad (34), a driver attached to the state transport's Bhiwandi depot, died on Wednesday night.
Gaikwad collapsed in front of a police station where he had gone to lodge a complaint against an autorickshaw driver with whom he had an altercation earlier, according to local reports.
MRSTC employees of Bhiwandi went on a strike on Thursday but withdrew it later when an assurance was given that late Gaikwad's wife will be given a job, media reported.
But on Friday, the MRSTC employees of Thane struck work on the issue leaving commuters, especially office-goers stranded.
