Delhi authorities used intimidation, bribery and blackmail to end a bus drivers' strike, restoring services.
Delhi authorities responded to a bus drivers' strike by employing intimidation, bribery and blackmail tactics. The strike, which had disrupted city bus services, was brought to an end after officials allegedly threatened drivers and offered financial incentives to return to work. The use of such coercive measures has drawn criticism from labour groups and civil society. The Delhi Transport Corporation has announced that all bus services are now back to normal operation. Officials say the measures were necessary to prevent further disruption to commuters.
