Tarn Taran, November 15

On the call given by the state body of the Punjab Roadways Punbus / PRTC Contractual Workers’ Union, Punbus workers organised a gate rally at the main gate of the Roadways workshop on Monday.

Satnam Singh, depot president of the union, was among others who addressed on the occasion. He said the policy chalked out to regularise the services of contractual workers was not serving their interests.

The leaders said they had been working in the department for the last more than 15 years on meagre salaries but the state government in its latest policy had left out the employees of the boards and the corporations to be regularised and this way none of their employee would be regularised.

They said the state government had been dilly delaying over the issue of regularisation citing one or the other excuse. They said Charanjit Singh Channi, too, was speaking the same language as his predecessors.
