The dictatorial and arrogant stand being adopted by Telangana CM KCR towards the TSRTC employees strike has now started taking the lives of RTC employees.
The threats and warnings being issued by KCR to RTC employees from time to time on removing them or dismissing them from their jobs for going on strike have created a panic-like situation among RTC employees and their family members.
The strike which entered the seventh day has claimed the lives of two RTC drivers and husband of a lady conductor.
Tensed, depressed and worried over KCR announcing dismissal of striking staff, two drivers suffered heart stroke on Day-6 of the strike and lost their lives.
The husband of a lady conductor, who is physically challenged and dependent on his wife for his livelihood too suffered heart stroke and died after he came to know that his wife had lost her job following KCR's decision to dismiss RTC staff who went on strike.
Over 50,000 RTC staff and their family members already spent Dasara festival, considered to be the biggest and joyous festival in Telangana, with tears in their eyes with TRS government stopping salaries for striking staff and later KCR giving a statement that striking staff were removed from their jobs and new ones will be recruited in their place.
As the strike still continues and entered 7th day today, the depression and tension among the RTC staff and their family members has been mounting and started claiming their lives.
