Chakka jam leaves passengers stranded
Jind, May 4 The plying of the Haryana Roadways buses resumed by 2 pm following
negotiation between the employees union and officials of the Transport Department here. The bus services got disrupted around 6 am today after over 100 employees and workers belonging to the district unit of the Haryana Roadways Workers Union assembled at the main bus stand and announced that no bus would ply due to the chakka jam resorted to by the employees body in protest against the suspension of three employees and transfer of two others by the authorities on charges of indiscipline. The suspension orders came after a dispute between the time in charge (TI) and some staff members of the department about a couple of days ago after it was reported that three employees, who were conductors, had misbehaved with the official concerned over the issue of the duty and the route assigned to them. “We tried to resolve the issue amicably but lack of cooperation and a defiant attitude made us to call for a strike,” claimed a spokesperson of the union. “I found the main gate of the bus stand closed when I came here to catch a bus for Kaithal. When I enquired about the reason, I was told that a stand-off between the staff and officials over some issue had resulted in a strike that could continue indefinitely,’’ said Rajesh, a local resident. “My family got stranded for hours together as there was no bus going towards Rohtak due to the strike by the drivers and conductors over some issue,” said Pawan, another local resident, who claimed that he was left with no option but to postpone his journey. The depot operates about 140 buses at present. |

CIL refuses coal to Jhajjar power plant
Panipat, May 4 Well-placed sources said CIL had reportedly refused to sign coal agreements with units commissioned after December 31, 2011. Though the first unit was synchronised on January 11 this year, the second was synchronised in the last week of March. Due to inadequate coal supplies, the Jhajjar plant could generate power for only nine days since the synchronisation of the first unit. The power utility, therefore, lost 660 MW of power each day. There were 18 thermal plants in the country, including the one at Jhajjar, where the coal stock was sufficient only for four days. — TNS
