dated April 30,1953: Another Tramway in Trouble

A large number of workers of the Karachi Tramways in Pakistan had gone on strike to protest against what they called "the management's policy of retrenchment and victimization." About 700 striking employees were taken into custody. Labour leaders claimed that all but 80 employees had joined the strike. Only a few of the green and white painted trams were running in the capital city. Police lathi charged a large group of 800 employees who were picketing outside the gate of the premises of the Tramway Company.
