Bus strike extended till Nov 2
Haryana Roadways employees on Monday announced to extend their strike till November 2. In solidarity with them, state government employees also announced to go on a two-day strike on Tuesday.
The essential services, however, have been kept out of the purview of the two-day strike by government employees.
The roadways strike, meanwhile, entered 14th day on Monday.
Sarv Karamchari Sangh (SKS) president Dharambir Phogat and general secretary Subhash Lamba said employees’ protest would continue till the state government rolled back its decision to run 700 private buses under the km scheme.
Roadways’ employees have been on strike since October 16, defying the Essential Services Maintenance Act (ESMA). Two rounds of talks with the government, including Transport Minister Krishan Lal Panwar on October 24, have failed to break the deadlock.
