The association, which comprises over 400 crushing and mining units across Pune district, is demanding the removal of the transit pass system, citing that the Bombay High Court has ruled that no such pass is required for transporting 'finished goods' from mines. Additionally, the association is protesting the delay in renewing mining leases, with around 110 applications pending with the state government for over a year.
The strike has affected not only government agencies but also private construction firms, with developers like Ranjit Naiknavare, president of the Confederation of Real Estate Developers' Associations of India (CREDAI)-Pune Metro, expressing concerns about the impact on their projects.
