After the good news of BEST fare cut, here's some bad news. BEST employees have threatened to go on an indefinite strike from the midnight of August 6 to press for their demands of getting a salary hike, implementation of the merger of BMC and BEST budget and acceptance of the Memorandum of Understanding that had been signed during the earlier strike call.

"We have been waiting and waiting as to we will be called for discussions, but despite several representations, the discussions are still awaited and our demands remain unmet," Shashank Sharad Rao of BEST Workers' Union said.
