The ongoing strike by Haryana Roadways staff was suspended after a meeting resulted in agreement on several of their demands, easing travel concerns for the upcoming Diwali holiday.
Earlier this week, the strike by employees of Haryana Roadways was called off following a meeting with management. The talks focused on a set of long‑standing grievances raised by the staff, including issues related to wages, leave and working conditions.
During the discussion, both sides reached a consensus on several key points, prompting the union to announce a temporary suspension of the industrial action. While the agreement does not cover every demand, officials said the concessions are sufficient to restore normal bus services for the immediate future.
The decision comes at a critical time, as the Diwali festival approaches and thousands of commuters rely on state‑run buses to travel to their hometowns. Transport authorities have assured passengers that regular schedules will resume from tomorrow, aiming to avoid any disruption during the holiday rush.
State officials indicated that a follow‑up meeting will be held next week to address the remaining issues, signaling a willingness to continue dialogue and prevent future stoppages.
