India: Unionized roadway workers to strike across Haryana State June 26
Unionized roadway workers to strike in Haryana State, India, 10:00-16:00 June 26. Increased security, transport disruptions likely.
Unionized roadway workers plan to hold a strike across Haryana State from 10:00-16:00 June 26. This is to protest against the alleged lack of government upholding agreements with the unions and promoting anti-roadway policies. Participation will likely be in the low thousands. A meeting will also be held at the Haryana Roadways Workshop on June 26. Union officials have already threatened additional actions if their demands remain unmet. The strike may be canceled if officials agree to meet the union's demands.
Related demonstrations may occur on June 26. Potential gathering sites include railway and/or bus stations, prominent government buildings, traffic intersections, and public squares.
Authorities will likely monitor any potential gatherings and may disperse overly disruptive crowds. Clashes between protesters and police cannot be ruled out. Demonstrators could march along or block roadways, prompting further localized transport disruptions. Associated localized business disruptions may occur.
Avoid any demonstrations that materialize. If clashes break out, depart the area immediately and seek shelter at a secure non-governmental building. Monitor trusted local media for protest details, as organizers may not announce them in advance. Confirm road status and transport reservations in Kolhapur. Allow additional travel time near any rally sites. Plan accordingly for possible localized business disruptions. Heed all official transport and security advisories.
