Mumbai Trains Motorman strike was going on from monday demanding hike in pay scales and allowances. The Maharashtra government imposed the Essential Services Maintenance Act (ESMA) and gave them three hours to return to work. Essential Service Maintenance Act (ESMA) is an act to provide for the maintenance of certain essential services and the normal life of the community in India. As upto now ESMA has been invoked many times by the State governments, as well as Central government in India. At present ESMA was invoked by the Maharashtra Government which lead to the arrest of 170 motormen on 4th May, 2010 a

Over seven million commuters, including office-goers and students, were severely hit on Tuesday, the second day of the ongoing agitation by motormen manning Mumbai’s crucial suburban trains.

The agitation by over 600 motormen on the Western Railway (WR) and Central Railway (CR) compelled the railways to issue a rare advisory Tuesday morning.

“People may undertake (train) journey only if it’s very important,” said a bulk SMS with a helpline No. 10721 to assist stranded commuters.

At least 170 of the striking motormen were taken into custody at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) on charges of unlawful assembly and obstructing rail employees from reporting for work, Government Railway Police Commissioner Tukaram Chavan said.

Earlier, 20 motormen, 10 each from Central and Western railways, were dismissed from service for refusing to join duty. Today only 20 per cent suburban trains were operating as a result of the hunger strike by motormen demanding hike in pay scales and allowances.

The motormen have been on a hunger strike since 6am on Monday and are demanding a pay hike among other things. Their strike led to complete chaos in the city during the evening peak hour traffic on Monday.

Maharashtra chief minister Ashok Chavan has called an emergency meeting to discuss the situation arising out of the motormen’s strike. Police, railway and transport officials will attend the meeting, official sources said.

Chavan had on Monday met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and requested his intervention to end the strike.The chief minister also spoke to railway minister Mamata Banerjee and requested her to take stringent action against the striking motormen, they said.

While hundreds of commuters managed to reach their homes late Monday, the situation was worse on Tuesday morning with the railways announcing the cancellation of nearly 80 percent of the total 2,000 daily services.

The railways resorted to desperate – but insufficient – measures like permitting people to travel in long-distance trains and making them halt at all suburban stations.

The railways are also making alternative arrangements to grapple with the agitation, considered the worst in Mumbai since 1974.

The BEST and MSRTC chipped in to help the stranded commuters by deploying additional services in the city and elsewhere.

Mumbai University announced that any student who was delayed for the 40-odd final examinations need not panic, they would be permitted extra time to write their papers.

The motormen’s agitation has had a cascading effect on Mumbai roads and highways which have been plagued by ugly traffic snarls since Monday night – and the situation was repeated today also.

Haratalu Halappa who submitted his resignation to the chief minister said that the sexual assault charges hurled at him are vague and is a conspiracy framed against him.

Senior members of the party were already aware of the issue much ahead of the time when it got flashed in the papers. In spite of the fact that Haratalu Halappa is calling all charges to be part of the conspiracy, close sources of the minister told the media that he is a womanizer who have witnessed similar instances in the past which never made it to the limelight due to his political influence. It was also said that the minister and Venkateshmurthy had a rough tussle of words over certain financial terms which provoked the husband to record Haratalu Halappa's attempt to molest his wife.

Chandravati has already lodged a complaint against Haratalu Halappa in the presence of Ajay Kumar Singh, the Director General of Police in accordance to Section 378 Indian Penal Code which levies charges of rape against the minister. Everyone in the party knew that Venkateshmurthy was the closest to Haratalu Halappa and that the minister visited his house quite often. Venkateshmurthy told the media that he is deeply shocked at the incident and he is upset about the whole thing as the minister had betrayed him and his trust.Chief minister BS Yeddyurappa ordered a Criminal Investigation Department (CID) probe into the alleged sexual assault but the Opposition is demanding an immediate arrest and have launched a state-wide agitation.
