It seems over 36,000 employees of the Brihanmumbai Electricity Supply and Transport (BEST) undertaking are in no mood to call off their strike under the banner of Kruti Samiti, an association of BEST unions, scheduled to start from midnight. Reason: the administration is yet to give them in writing that they would receive their salaries by the 10th of every month. Though Mayor Vishwanath Mahadeshwar has given them a verbal assurance, the workers are far from being convinced. As a result, over 35 lakh commuters are likely to face problems on Monday.
