The beginning of the week on Monday saw BEST employees protest against the alleged high-handedness of senior officials, and Railway unions launch a protest against the New Pension Scheme and changed terms of Dearness Allowance.

The BEST employees protest at Wadala sparked off after an incident between a bus driver and senior officials last week. The bus on route number 368 that travels between Sewri and Mulund, was stopped near Vikhroli by supervisors who allegedly asked the driver to take more passengers, leading to a heated argument. The bus driver recorded the entire argument on his phone, saying he was merely documenting his side of the story as evidence to avoid counter allegations.
