Telangana Gig Workers Postpone Strike by 10 Days After Assurance

Some workers in a place called Telangana, in India, drive taxis, ride auto-rickshaws, and deliver food and packages.

They work for apps and online platforms like cab, auto, and delivery services.

The workers wanted better rules to protect them and fair treatment from the companies.

They planned a big strike where they would stop working for a long time.

But the government talked to them and promised to help with their demands.

So the workers agreed to wait for ten more days before striking.

The government said it will make new rules for gig workers and start a special welfare board to look after them.

The workers' leaders said this is just a chance for the government to act.

If nothing happens in ten days, the workers may go on strike again.
