Commuters in Ludhiana experienced significant delays on Monday as 23 Punjab Roadways and PRTC buses were diverted to transport workers for a state government event in Gurdaspur. This diversion, part of a larger requisition of 220 buses statewide, strained the available fleet, impacting daily travelers. The Punjab Roadways, Punbus, and PRTC Contract Workers Union protested the move, arguing that public transport should not be used for political events, affecting those who rely on economical travel.
