Nearly 36,000 Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport Undertaking (BEST) workers will stay off duty from Monday, potentially inconveniencing as many as 30 lakh daily commuters, according to reports. The strike was announced after talks with Mumbai Mayor Vishwanath Mahadeshwar failed. The workers' demands include timely payment of salaries and ban on the hiring of private buses.
