DTC drivers' strike over wage hike, other demands enters fifth day
The Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) drivers' strike entered its fifth day on Saturday, so most buses stayed off Delhi roads. The protest is over daily-wage hikes, medical facilities and overtime pay. Commuters face daily inconvenience, and bringing in permanent drivers has not helped much because private firms run many electric buses. Keep a backup travel plan ready for now.
