CITU congratulates 18000 Haryana Roadways Workers for their successful strike action on 31st March 2010 against the increase in the prices of diesel and petrol and also against privatization of state transport routes through issuance of 2699 permits to private operators.
The strike call was given by Haryana Roadways Workers (Affiliated to All India Road Workers’ Federation, CITU) and Haryana Transport Karmachari Union. The strike was hundred percent successful as not even a single state transport bus plied on the Haryana road since early morning of 31.03.2010. Administration tried to break the strike through terrorizing tactics and number of leading roadways workers were arrested in Faridabad, Sonepat and other centers.
CITU urges upon the Haryana government to take a lesson from this massive united strike action by the roadways workers and refrain from issuing permits to private operators on the Haryana roadways routes.
CITU also urges upon the Central Government to withdraw the increase in taxes and duties on crude oil and petrol/diesel leading to hike in prices of petrol and diesel.
