Labour pangs: Migrants on holiday
Ludhiana, October 28
With the festival of lights less than two weeks away, migrants from UP and Bihar have started leaving for their homes. Local industry that relies heavily on migrant labourers for their work has already started facing labour shortage.

With the ongoing festival season, the pedestrian and vehicular traffic on the city roads is bursting at its seams, and the traffic cops find it beyond themselves to cope with the situation. The result is total chaos and persistent traffic jams on all roads around busy commercial areas and even in posh residential colonies. Lack of proper training in traffic management on the part of traffic police also plays its role to further worsen the situation.
