Peaceful End to Punjab Road Transport Strike: Relief for Commuters

Contractual workers of Punjab's state-run transport services ended a strike after meeting with the Transport Minister. The agreement restores bus operations and offers assurances on job security and reinstatement for suspended staff. The protest, primarily against a kilometre-based bus scheme seen as privatisation, had caused widespread disruption.

Contractual employees of Punjab's state-run road transport corporations brought their strike to a close following a lengthy meeting with Transport Minister Laljit Singh Bhullar on Sunday evening.

This resolution provides relief for commuters who faced hardship during the three-day strike that disrupted bus services across Punjab.

Negotiations in Tarn Taran district concluded with assurances from the minister to address the workers' concerns, including the reinstatement of suspended employees.
