BEST strike enters 3rd day, disrupts Mumbai commute; over 100 buses deployed for NEET re-test students
Mumbai's BEST bus services remain crippled for a third day as a strike by employees continues. Despite government intervention and legal orders, operations are severely impacted, forcing commuters to rely on trains, Metro, taxis, and auto-rickshaws. While over 100 buses were deployed for NEET-UG re-examination candidates, the core demands of the striking unions, including budget merger and pay commission implementation, remain unresolved, prolonging the disruption.
