Roadways staff begin indefinite strike across Uttarakhand

Roadways employees across Uttarakhand launched an indefinite strike on Monday, suspending all scheduled bus and transport services operated by the state-run corporation. The walkout was announced by the staff union, which said the action would continue until their demands are addressed.
The strike has left thousands of commuters stranded, particularly in remote districts that rely heavily on Roadways for daily travel and goods movement. Ticket counters and depots in major towns such as Dehradun, Haridwar and Nainital remain closed.
State officials have acknowledged the disruption and confirmed that they are in contact with union representatives to seek a resolution. No specific timeline for resumption of services has been provided, and authorities have urged passengers to explore alternative transport options where possible.
