JALANDHAR/LUDHIANA/BATHINDA: Passengers had to bear the brunt as contractual employees of the Punjab Roadways and Pepsu Road Transportation Corporation began a three-day strike on Monday, leading to around 2,800 state vehicles remaining off roads.

Protesters said the strike to press for their demands, including regularisation of jobs, will continue on Tuesday.

Punjab Roadways, Punbus, PRTC Contract Workers' Union president Resham Singh Gill said around 8,000 contractual employees are participating in the strike and demonstrations are being held at all the 27 bus depots across the state.

To add to the woes, there was an increased load at the bus terminals due to the holiday on account of Guru Gobind Singh's birth anniversary.

Commuters were left stranded at bus stands across the state.
