Earlier UP Roadways workers had gone on a 24-hour 'chakka jam' on July 10. According to sources the employees are on strike after the government refused to consider their demand for implementing the Sixth Pay Commission recommendations, and increase in the retirement age. The transport service in all the 17 divisions of UP Roadways is badly affected by the strike.
