A strike has been ongoing since September 15 among drivers engaged through private agencies for the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC). The Karamchari Ekta Union of DTC drivers is demanding a basic plus dearness allowance (DA) salary structure, paid leave, medical insurance, and financial assistance. The union warned that protests would intensify on September 28 if their demands are not met. Management at the Burari depot offered a counter-proposal of up to ₹1,266 a day, along with a monthly incentive of ₹6,000.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The dispute centers on the implementation of basic DA for contractual employees, a matter that the union claims has been stalled despite receiving approval from the DTC Board and the Delhi Finance Department. The ongoing labor action impacts the operational capacity of the DTC, which is the mandated public transport provider for Delhi.

Depots in Burari are operational, and the DTC is the mandated public transport provider operating under the jurisdiction of Delhi.
