Appreciating the endeavour of Canada-based company, which has a very large bus fleet in Canada, for creating employment opportunities for around 100 local youths by opening the office, the minister urged the diaspora associated with transport and trucking business to open their office in the state for generating employment for the youth. He said Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann had urged the NRIs to provide employment on their own land, and local youngsters will benefit from the ‘booking and dispatch’ operations of NRIs.
