To take their agitation against letting out BEST depots to private operators to the next level, trader unions said they will organise a large protest on Wednesday.

“We plan to gather in huge numbers at bus depots and walk to the Wadala depot in a mega protest rally. The main protest will be held on Wednesday at 3 pm at Wadala which is the main hub of bus operations. The handing over of bus depots to private operators seems like a part of the bigger conspiracy and a move to shut down the undertaking,” Shashank Sharad Rao, BEST Workers Union leader said.
