Contract employees of Punjab Roadways and the Punjab Road Transport Corporation have announced a three‑day strike that will begin on 16 November, potentially disrupting bus services across the state.
Contract staff of Punjab Roadways and the Punjab Road Transport Corporation (PRTC) issued a notice that they will go on strike for three days starting on 16 November. The decision was communicated to the transport authorities earlier this week.
The strike is expected to affect regular bus operations on major routes throughout Punjab, as the striking workforce comprises a significant portion of the agencies' daily service personnel.
Transport officials have acknowledged the notice and said they are reviewing contingency plans to minimise inconvenience to commuters. No specific timetable for service reductions has been released yet.
Passengers are advised to check official updates and consider alternative modes of travel during the strike period.
The situation will be monitored closely, and further statements from the unions or the government may follow as the strike date approaches.
