00:00We will try to find out the reason.
00:15We have an association member with us who will talk to us.
00:19What is your name and why have you been given the ban?
00:21My name is Sandeep Singh Garewala.
00:23I am a P.R.TC Pano Bus Contract Worker.
00:25I have been working since 2011.
00:28We have been given the ban on the 18th.
00:32We had given a request letter to every MLA in Canada
00:36so that we could reach our government.
00:38Before that, a meeting could take place
00:40and we could resolve some of our issues during the meeting.
00:42And if we could resolve them, we would postpone the ban
00:47so that the public would not be harassed.
00:50But on the contrary, yesterday, on 2nd January,
00:54we had a panel meeting with the Transport Minister
00:57in which the P.R.TC, 25 workers, and the Punjab Roadway Action Committee
01:05were present.
01:06At the start of the meeting, we discussed the issue of resolving the ban.
01:10They said that we could resolve it within 8 years
01:14for the officials and workers.
01:16So, the question was raised,
01:18under what circumstances could you resolve the ban?
01:21There was a lot of debate on this issue.
01:23They said that they would resolve the issue within 15 days
01:27as per the rules of the law.
01:31After that, we would resolve the issue.
01:36After that, our meeting was cancelled.
01:39No one spoke to us.
01:41No one checked our agenda.
01:43And on the contrary, the minister clearly said
01:47that we should wait for 10 days instead of 3 days.
01:50He said that we should go back home.
01:53He said that we should wait for 10 days instead of 3 days.
01:56He said that we should go back home.
01:58And you can see that the Transport Minister
02:01who has been appointed by the government
02:04has no concern for the public.
02:07During our meeting, he asked us to tell him what we wanted.
02:12He said that if we wanted to resolve the issue,
02:15we could find a way to do so.
02:18After that, when we saw him on the New Heat channel,
02:22he said that his demands are not valid at all.
02:26We took him for 2-5 years for a regular visit to Punjab.
02:32We did one visit, but we did two visits.
02:35Did he go to any other department?
02:37Yes, he went to many departments.
02:39We gave him a letter for 8-7 days.
02:41In the transport department,
02:43where we have appointed people for 5 years,
02:46we do not give him a complete letter.
02:49We give him a letter,
02:51but he leaves it in the dustbin.
02:54He asked us to protest.
02:56He clearly told us to protest.
02:58He said that he has no concern for us.
03:00You are protesting.
03:02The CM also said the same thing the other day.
03:05He said that the unemployed people
03:07should be given regular visits.
03:09Where is the demand coming from?
03:11Why is there no cooperation?
03:14The demand is coming,
03:16but he is not telling us
03:18how to give him regular visits.
03:20If we see, he gives us regular visits.
03:22He gives us 15-20 regular visits.
03:24He gives us a fixed salary of 5%.
03:26If we don't get a letter,
03:28or if we don't get anything
03:30after the death of a job,
03:32or if we get a pension after a job,
03:34whatever it is,
03:36he tells us that
03:38we are under these rules,
03:40we are being given regular visits.
03:43This is where the demand comes from.
03:45He tells us to take a step
03:47and say yes.
03:49If we say yes today,
03:51then tomorrow,
03:53if he doesn't make a service
03:55or if he doesn't give us regular visits,
03:57then we will protest against him
03:59and then he will blame us
04:01for not giving him regular visits.
04:03After that, we have started
04:05giving him regular visits.
04:07Now, the demand is coming.
04:09We want him to give us regular visits.
04:11If we get a pension,
04:13if we get a pension,
04:15if we get a job,
04:17if we get a job,
04:19if we get a job,
04:21if we get a job,
04:23what are the benefits,
04:25what are the medical benefits?
04:27By chance,
04:29during our duty days,
04:31we die,
04:33what are the benefits
04:35that our family will get?
04:37After that,
04:39We are being paid between Rs. 12,000 to Rs. 17,000 to Rs. 18,000.
04:43Because our salaries are also being paid in two or three ways.
04:47They are being paid separately.
04:49They are being paid two or three times a month.
04:52It's been 10 years since I have been studying.
04:54I have been studying since 2015.
04:56Since 2015, we have seen the face of the government.
05:00We haven't protested even for an hour.
05:03We had to work for Rs. 6,000 to Rs. 7,000.
05:06After that, we formed a group and started protesting.
05:10We have also increased our salaries.
05:13We have also been able to fulfill some of our employer's demands.
05:17We have struggled in many ways.
05:19After that, we have continued to struggle.
05:22Again, I would like to tell you that
05:24on the 18th, we had given a petition to every camp.
05:28So that we don't have to protest.
05:30The government should listen to us.
05:32The government is sitting with us to talk on the table.
05:35First, we have to go to the streets.
05:37We have to go there and protest every day.
05:39Then the government gives us time.
05:41Our meeting with the Chief Minister is fixed.
05:43After that, whenever there is a meeting,
05:45the Chief Minister sits with us instead of the Chief Minister.
05:49Then he says,
05:51these are the demands of the Chief Minister.
05:54These are our buses where you can't go.
05:57We have to fight back.
06:00The government says,
06:01we will come and fix everything for you.
06:05The other government used to say,
06:07the other government is forcing the employers.
06:10These demands should be fulfilled.
06:13Today, the government is clearly telling us
06:16that these are not your demands.
06:18Let's talk about the other issues.
06:22How do you see it?
06:24The difference is getting worse.
06:27You are talking about other states.
06:29Your demands are getting fulfilled.
06:31What do you think is the reason?
06:33We can say that it is arrogance.
06:37When the government wants power,
06:40there is no demand that can be fulfilled.
06:48On July 1, 2024,
06:50our panel meeting with the Chief Minister of Punjab was held.
06:54The demands of the Chief Minister of Punjab
06:58were accepted within a month.
07:05It has been six months now.
07:09But none of the demands were fulfilled.
07:13The people of Lalitpur are now saying
07:17that these demands are not valid.
07:20The Chief Minister of Punjab is saying that these demands are valid.
07:23On the other hand, the people of Lalitpur are saying
07:26that these demands are not valid.
07:29This is an expression of arrogance.
07:36The people of Punjab are being harmed.
07:44The public is being harassed.
07:47As my father said,
07:50the people of Lalitpur are not doing anything.
07:57Instead, they are saying that
08:00we don't care if you go on strike for 10 days.
08:04What appeal would you like to make to the people?
08:06When are you going to stop your government services?
