By Express News ServiceHYDERABAD: With three days to go for the state-wide bandh announced by the TSRTC’s striking employees, protests gathered steam across Hyderabad on Wednesday. The brewing anger among the RTC employees, after the government responded to their strike with non-payment of salaries and verbal dismissal, spilled onto the streets. Hundreds of workers gathered outside the Musheerabad depot and shaved their heads to mourn the sorry state of affairs they had been pushed into. The effigy was eventually burnt in protest against the CM’s hardstand against the striking TSRTC employees. The protests will continue and will aggravate from here until the bandh on October 19,” said Raji Reddy, co-convenor of TSRTC employees’ Joint Action Committee..
