Drivers in Chhattisgarh’s Balodabazar district have launched an indefinite strike under the banner of the ‘Steering Chhodo’ movement, pressing for the fulfilment of 15 demands. The protest has affected transport services, with a shortage of buses and passenger vehicles causing inconvenience to commuters.
As part of the agitation, drivers have stopped operating their vehicles to draw the administration’s attention to their demands. The suspension of services has reduced the availability of public and private passenger transport, leaving many people struggling to find vehicles for their daily journeys.
Passengers travelling for work, education and other essential purposes are facing difficulties due to the reduced number of buses and other transport options. The impact is particularly noticeable among people who depend on regular passenger services to commute between towns and nearby areas.
The drivers have stated that their agitation will continue until their 15 demands are addressed. The ‘Steering Chhodo’ campaign is intended to put pressure on the authorities to initiate discussions and find a solution to their concerns.
The indefinite nature of the strike has raised concerns about continued disruption to transport services. The situation will depend on the administration’s response and whether negotiations with the protesting drivers lead to an agreement.
