Bengaluru, Dec 14 : Prominent farmer leader Kodihalli Chandrashekhar, who led the Karnataka Transport Workers Union protest for four days, on Monday said that the workers were withdrawing their protest and would resume their duties across the state.
This announcement comes after Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation Chairman Nandish Reddy as a government s representative handed over a written assurance in which nine of the 10 demands were accepted by the state government.
Addressing the agitating staff members here, Chandrashekhar clarified that the government in effect has accepted eight of the demands as in the case of ninth demand on implementing Sixth Pay Commission recommendations, the state government had assured only if it gets finance department s clearance, which means to say that it is still very ambiguous.
