Haryana roadways buses shun Delhi in protest

June 15, 2013 15:18

Haryana state transport buses refused to enter Delhi on Saturday in protest against the alleged 'high handedness' and 'improper issuance of challans' by Delhi Police.

"Around 1,000 buses, including 40 luxury Volvo buses, refused to enter Delhi through the Badarpur, Kundli, IFFCO Chowk and Bahadurgarh borders," said Haryana Roadways Workers' Union leader Sarbat Punia.

"A large number of Delhi Police staff, many of whom belong to Haryana, insist on free travel when they commute by Haryana Roadways buses.

"When bus conductors ask for tickets, our buses are challaned," he alleged.

He added that Delhi police challans about 100 Haryana Roadways buses daily in the national capital area.

The stir put commuters through significant amounts of trouble which also entailed them having to spend extra on travel.
