Activists to stage indefinite sit-in protest at Haldwani Bus Station in Uttarakhand State, India, from June 28. Disruptions likely.
Activists affiliated with the Roadways Employees Joint Council will lead an indefinite sit-in protest at Haldwani Bus Station in Uttarakhand State from June 28. The action is to denounce the death of a conductor due to the alleged negligence of officials during a bus accident in Haldwani. Reports indicate around 116 participants will join the planned action.
Additional rallies of varying types, including marches and strikes, are possible over the coming days.
