The Punjab government and PRTC-PUNBUS unions reached an agreement to speed up the regularization process for contractual staff, averting a planned strike. Transport Minister Harpal Cheema directed the personnel department to prepare a list of eligible employees. The government plans to eliminate outsourcing contractors and hire workers directly. Additionally, 250 employees dismissed between 2015 and 2023 for minor allegations will be reinstated. This move will allow grounded government buses and Volvo coaches to resume operations due to increased staff availability. https://zeenews.india.com/hindi/zeephh/punjab/prtc-punbus-employees-regularization-harpal-cheema-meeting/3237710 #Creator program
