Ludhiana, December 14

The contractual bus service staff continued their strike on Tuesday and announced to participate in a state-level protest that will be held at Kharar on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, passengers have been facing inconveniences due to the strike of the contractual employees for the past one week as many of the buses are not plying on roads.

Members of the Punjab Roadways, PUNBUS and PRTC Contract Workers Union had gone on an indefinite strike on December 7 in protest against the state government not fulfilling their demands. The contractual employees have been demanding regularisation of their services.

Shamsher Singh, a leader of the union, said the government has not met their demands yet. So, the union has decided to protest outside the CM’s residence in Kharar on Wednesday, he said.

The union members said the Punjab Government did not conduct a meeting with the employees today due to which they are forced to intensify their protest.
