BEST Kamgar Sena Protest in Mumbai Over Employee Issues
Imagine a group of workers from the BEST bus service, called the Kamgar Sena, who are upset about some problems.
They protested to get their problems fixed.
Some of the main issues are that retired workers haven't received their money (gratuity), and there aren't enough workers or buses.
They also want people to get promoted.
To help solve these problems, they're asking the government for a lot of money.
They hope things will improve soon, or they might protest even more.
BEST Kamgar Sena protested in Wadala over worker issues.
The union demanded immediate gratuity disbursement for retired employees.
They seek an increase in BEST's self-owned bus fleet.
The union addressed stagnation in promotions and staff shortages.
They demanded ₹10,000 crore financial aid for BEST from the government.
