CHANDIGARH, OCT 17

The Additional Chief Secretary was interacting with media persons at a press conference held regarding strike of Haryana Roadways Employees’ Union, here today.
Mr Singh said that plying of 700 buses on PPP mode would not harm the interests of any employee of roadways infact it would facilitate people.
He said that in the coming time, Special Purpose Vehicle and formation of a Corporation could also be considered so as to run the Haryana Roadways efficiently. He said that the stand of state government is very clear on buses being plied under Kilometer Scheme. These buses would be plied keeping in view the interest of people and there would be no compromise on this issue.
In reply to a question, he said that in the last strike held on September 5, 2018, actions were taken against 180 persons, under which Essential Services Maintenance Act (ESMA) was imposed on Union leader, Dalbir Kirmara and others. He said that on October 16, 2018, 1,507 buses were plied and some buses were plied even without conductors. At some places, the buses were run with the assistance of the police and Special Police Officers (SPOs). He said that even today, about 40 buses were run in Hisar with the help of heavy vehicle drivers of other departments.
In reply to a question related to strike, he said that if the strike is not called off then recruitment would be carried out through outsourcing policy and buses would be plied for the facility of people. He said that the drivers and staff on probation period who participated in strike on September 5, 2018 as well as at present on strike for two days and action is taken against them under ESMA then such employees would be terminated.
He said that though, the state government has sent the requisition to Haryana Staff Selection Commission for the recruitment of conductors, but till then, 930 conductors and 500 drivers would be recruited under the outsourcing policy for the facility of the people. From ‘Saksham’ portal of the state government, those having license of conductor could be recruited as conductors, he added.
