Event
Unionized transportation employees of the Haryana Roadways public transportation corporation plan to hold a strike and block roads across Haryana State June 26. The purpose of the action is to demand higher pay and reforms to promotion and earned-leave policies, among other requests. Activists will reportedly block roads 08:00-20:00. Related protests may also occur at or near prominent government buildings and public squares across the state, particularly at district headquarters. Strike organizers may cancel the action at short notice.
Security personnel will almost certainly monitor the rallies and may attempt to disperse overly disruptive gatherings. Clashes between police and activists cannot be ruled out. Transport disruptions are likely through the evening of June 26. Localized business disruptions are possible.
Advice
Avoid all protests and refrain from navigating roadblocks due to potential violence. If clashes break out, depart the area immediately and seek shelter at a secure, nongovernmental building. Confirm deliveries, road status, and transport reservations June 26. Seek alternative arrangements for urgent travel and/or shipping. Allow additional travel time near protest sites. Heed all official security and transport advisories.
