Haryana Roadways Strike Deferred: What Was Agreed
Today Haryana News 6 November 2026 brings relief for festival travelers: the roadways strike has been put off for now. After about four and a half hours of talks at the Haryana Secretariat in Chandigarh on Wednesday, 4 November, representatives of 12 unions agreed to hold off. Transport Commissioner Atul Dwivedi and Director General Nikhil Gajraj attended for the department (Haribhoomi). Several demands were agreed upon, and the unions will meet Transport Minister Anil Vij on 25 November to discuss the rest.
Still unresolved:
- Diwali bonus dues since 2015 (the unions say about ten years of bonus adds up to roughly Rs 85 crore)
- Three increments
- Regularization of about 350 employees hired in 2016
The unions say passenger numbers on roadways and buses rise two to three times during festivals. Rajkumar, president of the Haryana Roadways Karamchari Union Jagriti Manch, warned that a two-day strike could return if the remaining demands are not settled by 25 November (Amar Ujala).
Amit Shah in Karnal and Ambala: Shaheed Smarak Inaugurated
On Thursday, 5 November, Amit Shah first led the BJP’s “Loktantra Bachao, Arajakta Hatao” padyatra in Karnal, which began at Sector-12. Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, Union Minister Manohar Lal, and BJP’s Haryana in-charge Smriti Irani were present. Aaj Samaaj describes the march as the BJP’s outreach in response to the opposition’s “vote chori” campaign and questions about the electoral process.
In Ambala Cantonment he then inaugurated the national memorial and museum for the 1857 uprising and addressed a rally at Gandhi Ground. Shah said the memorial will inspire young people across the country and that Haryana sends more soldiers to the armed forces than any other state (Aaj Tak). He also praised Transport Minister Anil Vij for his role in getting the memorial built. Saini said the government has completed 76 of its 217 resolutions, with 141 in progress (ETV Bharat).
On cost, reports differ. Coverage before the event mentioned about Rs 800 crore, while ETV Bharat’s inauguration report puts it at Rs 584 crore. We will update this once an official figure is available.
Gurugram and NCR Air Quality: AQI 391 and 50% Work From Home
Seven Haryana cities were among the country’s 12 most polluted, according to ETV Bharat. Panchgaon in Gurugram recorded an AQI of 391, the highest in the country. Panchgaon, Bahadurgarh, Jind, Ballabgarh, Kaithal, Gurugram, and Manesar were in the poor to very poor range, while 12 other cities stayed between 201 and 300.
Gurugram, Faridabad, and Sonipat have been told to keep offices at 50 percent attendance, with the rest working from home. Construction and demolition are restricted under GRAP, with exemptions for the metro, railways, bus stands, hospitals, national security, and national highway projects. Gurugram issued 54 challans and fined Rs 13.50 lakh for breaching dust-control orders, and the NGT sent notices to 28 units in Rohtak. As reported earlier by ANI, the Gurugram order runs from 5 to 20 November.
Scientists say that even with fewer stubble-burning cases this year, cold weather and slow winds are keeping pollutants close to the ground.
Diwali 2026 in Haryana: Green Crackers, Timings and Hospital Alert
As Today Haryana News 6 November 2026 shows, festival rules differ by region. Today is Dhanteras, and Diwali falls on Sunday, 8 November.

Haryana’s NCR districts, including Gurugram and Faridabad, fall under this order. Faridabad has formed district- and block-level teams to monitor violations (Amar Ujala).
