CHANDIGARH: The choice of the staff of Haryana Roadways to go on indefinite strike from Tuesday is more likely to have a serious impression on public commuting within the state. The state-run service carries hundreds of passengers on daily basis and operates 3,500 buses throughout Haryana. The one-day strike has been known as by ‘Roadways Bachao Sanyukt Sangharsh Samiti,’ an umbrella group of eight unions of roadway workers in Haryana.
The roadways union is protesting in opposition to the federal government scheme to offer 853 permits to non-public bus operators on 273 routes and is demanding that extra roadways buses be purchased and run on these routes to offer employment to extra folks.
Haryana Roadways Sanyukt Karamchari Sangh president Dalbir Singh Kirmara mentioned that the choice to watch at some point strike has been taken after the state authorities had backed out from its promise of withdrawing personal bus operators, who had been granted allow as per 2016-17 transport coverage.
“We don’t need strike as a result of hundreds of individuals would harass however the authorities has pressured us to try this. Already we had 4 rounds of talks with the federal government and each time the federal government had promised us to meet our demand that these given licences as per 2016-17 coverage could be withdrawn from the routes,” Kirmara mentioned.
