CM appeals to Haryana Roadways employees to join their duty

CHANDIGARH, JULY 20 
Haryana Chief Minister, Mr Manohar Lal has appealed to the representatives  and office-bearers of Haryana Roadways Employees Unions to join their  duty immediately keeping in view  the festival season and  also the problems  being faced by the general public. The Government is always ready to hold discussions with them. All the Unions’ office-bearers have been appealed to  come to the office of Director General, State Transport, Haryana  located on second floor, 30-bays building, Sector 17-B, Chandigarh at 12 noon on October 21, 2018 (Sunday) for discussion with the  Director General and officers of the department.  Their genuine demands would be considered sympathetically and action would be taken to fulfill them.
          The continuous five days strike by Haryana Roadways employees since October 16 has caused inconvenience to the general public in their daily routine work. It is our Constitutional and moral responsibility that any of our acts should not create problem for the general public. In festival season, on not getting cheap, convenient and reliable travel facility by the Haryana State Transport, public resentment is understandable.
          The representatives of Haryana Roadways Employees Unions have this misconception that by hiring 700 buses of private bus owners would lead to privatization of the department and the employees would be sorted out. Whereas this is not true as the buses hired from private bus owners will have conductors from the department only. Thus according to the norms of the department, 980 conductors would be recruited for these buses. The fare charged from the passengers of these buses would be deposited to the state exchequer. The owners of these buses would be paid as per the fixed rate of the various depots (from Rs 31.01 to Rs 37.30 per km). It is not a stage carriage or contract carriage scheme. In fact, under Public Private Partnership mode, 700 additional buses would be added to the fleet of Haryana State Transport so that the general public would get cheaper, reliable and convenient transport facility. It is pertinent to mention here that these buses hired on per kilometer basis would not be given any permit and these buses would ply on the permit and fixed routes of Haryana Roadways buses. Inspite of this, some representatives of Haryana Roadways Employees Unions are on strike. The state government always protects the interest of the employees but it is also the priority and moral responsibility of the State Government to provide better facilities to the people of the state.
 JAN SAHYOG RALLYHaryana Finance Minister Capt. Abhimanyu said that Jan Sahyog Rally to be organised in district Jind on October 21 would prove to be a milestone for the development of Jind. Haryana Chief Minister Mr Manohar Lal would inaugurate and lay the foundation stone for 11 development projects worth Rs 570 crore on this occasion.
          Capt. Abhimanyu said this while reviewing the preparations of upcoming Jan Sahyog Rally at Jind today. He said that under the leadership of Mr Manohar Lal, the present state government has completed four years tenure. In these four years,  the number of  development works  completed by present government  have not been  undertaken in the 40 years of the previous governments. He said that by seeing the support of people towards Jan Sahyog Rally, it is very much sure that Jind rally would be historic.
          He said that the previous governments were doing politics based on region or caste. The present government has started various development projects for Jind. The workers and leaders of the BJP are ready for byelection in Jind and the party candidate would surely win here. He said that Jind would not be left behind in terms of development.
