Jaipur: Roadways employees who have been protesting for one week, took out a march on Friday demanding a probe into alleged corruption in the corporation. The employees raised the issue of delay in payment of salaries to employees and pension to retired employees. They further alleged that transfers and promotions done in the corporation did not follow proper norms.
Employees said that out of 101 transfers done recently, 63 employees were transferred on their own request and 38 were transferred due to administrative reasons. Of the 38 conductors, some have been suspended temporarily while others have been transferred. Employees are demanding investigation in the matter.
“Due to the wrong policies of the state governments, most of the transport corporations of the country are running in losses. Due to losses, salaries, pensions and retirement benefits of roadways workers are not being paid on time. Like the Telangana government that has merged roadways into state service, Rajasthan should also do the same. In the roadways, unfair process of contractual recruitment for post of drivers and conductors should also be stopped,” said Ravindra Himate, general secretary of Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh.
