The JAC leaders asked all the workers to join the duties by 6 am on Tuesday and requested the temporary employees to vacate the RTC premises. However, he made clear that if the govt denies their joining, the strike ould be continued. After a few petitions filed were heard in the court, the court has asked the RTC employees to move to the labour court.
