Punjab roadways contractual workers hold statewide gate rallies, demand regularisation
Contractual employees of Punjab Roadways staged gate rallies at all 27 state bus depots to press for regularisation and the abolition of the contractual system. Union leaders accused the Aam Aadmi Party‑led government of failing to act on repeated assurances and committee recommendations over the past four years. The workers announced a three‑day strike from August 3 to 5, a hunger strike during the Monsoon Session, and warned of intensified protests if their demands remain unmet.
