Employees of Punjab Roadways have immobilised buses across the state by jamming the wheels, citing unmet demands, leading to a statewide service disruption.
Punjab Roadways employees staged a protest today by physically jamming the wheels of buses operating throughout the state, effectively halting the movement of the fleet.
The staff said the action was taken because their longstanding demands had not been met, and they adopted a firm stance to pressurise the management.
The wheel jam has left commuters stranded as regular bus services were suspended in major towns and cities across Punjab. Passengers reported difficulty in reaching workplaces and educational institutions.
Transport authorities have acknowledged the disruption and are in talks with the employees, but no resolution has been announced as of now.
