BEST strike continues for second day, commuters face hardship

Lakhs of commuters faced hardship as over 32,000 employees of Mumbai's civic transport undertaking kept away from work for the second day on Wednesday, with the indefinite strike set to continue for the third day.
The administration cracked the whip, issuing notices to over 2,000 staffers of the Brihanmumbai Electricity Supply and Transport (BEST) to vacate houses provided by the undertaking. It also held dialogue with union leader Shashank Rao, but it did not yield any positive outcome.
