Ludhiana: Strike ends as PSPCL comes up with direct contractual engagement policy

The Complaint Handling Bike (CHB) and Complaint Handling Wagon (CHW) workers, who had been protesting for more than a week against the outsourced system of recruitment, ended their strike on Sunday after the Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) announced that it would directly engage eligible outsourced workers on a contractual basis after technical screening and experience verification.

More than 1,000 outsourced workers in Ludhiana were participating in the strike, their union stated.
