State secretary of the employees union L S Rajpurohit said their strike would continue until their demands are not met. The strike has badly affected the passengers who travel on the roadways buses on a daily basis. Worst affected of them are those who travel long distances i.e. over 100 km.“The rural passengers take resort to alternative means of travelling which are easily available but those travelling long distances are left with no alternative but to take private or Lok Parivahan buses,” sources said. Approximately 22,000 passengers depart and arrive at the Jodhpur bus station but in absence of them, an entire station is deserted.The strike has also affected the livelihood of the vendors selling different stuffs at the bus station and they have been desperately looking forward for the strike to end.
