Roadways Unions Call a Two-Day Strike on 5 and 6 November
According to Aaj Samaaj, Haryana Roadways unions under the Sanjha Morcha have called a statewide strike for 5 and 6 November. About 20,000 employees across 24 depots and 13 sub-depots are expected to take part. The unions say several demands have been pending since 2018 and that they oppose privatization of the department.
Main demands include:
- A higher pay scale for drivers and conductors
- Restoration of the Diwali bonus and 33 earned leaves
- An Rs 30 night allowance and unconditional overtime
- One rest break after four hours of duty, plus a washing allowance
The unions gave notice to the government through depot general managers on 23 October. This is an announcement, not a confirmed shutdown. We found no government response yet, so passengers should check bus availability before travelling on those two days.
Rain, Lightning and Hail Alert for Haryana
According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), as reported by Aaj Samaaj, a western disturbance is likely to bring thunderstorms, lightning and hail in places across Haryana on 29 and 30 October, with some activity possible on 31 October. The Tribune reports that the IMD has issued a yellow alert for the Chandigarh Tricity for Thursday and Friday. Gurugram and Faridabad may see cloud and light rain on 30 October.
