    At one point of time the major strike of 1,500 workers at Bajaj Auto's Chakan plant seemed to have ended, but the problem has not been resolved completely. The strike was started six weeks ago, but Rajiv Bajaj took a big action on Monday to obsolete the problem. Bajaj said,"We have suffered no loss, those who are not getting their salaries have,". He also said,"I've given my team time till next Monday." If the talks fail, "we will have to shift half the production out of Chakan on a semi-permanent basis. We can't stake our sales on this one plant,". After that, he made an appeal to the workers and said,"I appeal and ask workers to come back and resume work. There is no reason not to,".

    Bajaj Auto, VP, Kailash J Zanzari said that the company has been in talks with the labour union to resolve issues related to the employee stock, and wage aggrement renewal, and it's close to the settlement. He also said,"We are willing to take back seven employees who are guilty of minor offences and have had a clean track record, after a minimal suspension of four days. The other 15, however, would be investigated by an Inquiry committee and the company would act on its advice,".

    After all these efforts, about 900 of the 1,500 employees at Chakan have resumed work. But still 600 employs are on strike and the plant is unable to produce its actual capacity.

      NS 200 best of all time
      No vibration, perfect riding position, best performance, all rounder bike. And because I trust the bajaj and in this segment this is the best bike i bought. And the good one is gearing position, I like the design of my bike. Mileage i got on highway around 40 kml in cities 34 around, but best handling in every way. I ride the bike around 1900 km and I got the good mileage i observed there is no mileage drop in this segment. I ride around 50 km per day. Don't buy if you are not a men. Because pulsar is only for men. I would suggest this bike for every men, it is also best for college students and office mates. It attracts the whole attention of everyone.

      the best ever
      The Bajaj Pulsar NS200 is one of India’s most popular 200 cc streetfighter motorcycles, known for its powerful engine and sporty character. It’s powered by a 199.5 cc, liquid-cooled, 4-valve DTS-i engine that makes around 24.1–24.5 PS of power and ~18.7 Nm of torque, paired with a smooth 6-speed gearbox that delivers strong acceleration and a top speed near 140 km/h, making it fun for both city rides and highway cruising.

      The underrated gem
      The first gen 200ns was the bike I fell in love with back then, so I always wanted one and hence got the current version of the bike. Apart from that the character of the engine and mainly the muscular timeless design and the sound...! The ride until now has been pretty pretty good, Yes there are some nacks here n there in terms of the build quality, fit n finish and some minor vibration aroun fron visor and rear seat, But the bike feels soo much emgaging to ride, everytime I'm on the bike it wants me to rev the engine all the way, and I find myself smiling inside my helmet. the major chunk of power comes above 6k rpm and that's where all the fun starts. All though the engine is much much more refined than the original 200ns but still you can feel that aggresive character in it. I feel the braking could have been better specially the organic brake pads, I think bybre was much better. And the abs kicks in a bit sooner than needed. In terms of handling this bike is such a gem, with the new usd forks its better than ever, the bike feels so like yet so stable on highways and once you get it into corners, then you can actually unleash the full potential of this machine, the chassis and dynamics are so good, the bike just flows into corners, I think bajaj can do better job for tyres as well, the bike demands 110 and 140 sections. But Bajaj being Bajaj, they had to do cost cutting so. Overal I'd say an amazing experience so far not a single moment of regret. All I have is satisfaction and the urge to get on my bike again and go out for a spin...! Okay so if you're someone who is very much into techy features and all those stuff then you should stay away, there are many other competitors who are much better. But i think that's not the purpose of this bike. This machine is for someone who just wants to have fun every time they get on the bike, someone who want to feel that rush and adrenaline surge into your veins everytime you ride the bike, someone who wants to lean how to ride fast the right way, someone who cares more about the engaging riding feel and experience rather than spec sheets filled with all the tech gizmos... You should definitely go and have a proper ride on this bike to fell all that beforehand atleast once..!
