The transporters are all set to paralyse the public convenience in state from Saturday. Chhattisgarh Yatayat Mahasangh (CYM) has declared that all the public buses will not run on roads from Saturday onwards, informed CYM state president Pritam Singh Garcha during a press conference.
Talking with reporters he said in past two years diesel prices have soured up to Rs 54 from Rs45 but Chhattisgarh Government has not increased bus fair in this proportion, due to which the transports have to bear heavy loss.
Garcha further informed that, the association had earlier meet state Transport Minister Rajesh Munat to discuss over 8 points demands of the CYS on April 1 wherein the minister had promised to consider their demands but nothing happened since then. Hence after passing of two months CYM is left with no option but to go on indefinite strike.Patron CYM Pramod Dubey said from midnight of May 24 the public transport will halt. Further he demand from government that Transportation should be treated public service just as Education and Health services are.
