Haryana Roadways Workers' Joint Action Committee today withdrew its call for stopping bus services to Delhi for three days after the state government decided to form a committee to look into their grievances.
The decision was taken at a meeting held between Director General (Haryana state transport) Arun Kumar and Haryana Roadways Workers' Joint Action Committee, an official release said here.
Accusing the Delhi Police of high-handedness, drivers and conductors of the state transport department had announced to go on a three-day strike from July 19 to 21 during which they had decided not to ply in Delhi.
Kumar said, it was decided to constitute a committee to study the pattern of challans done by Delhi Police.
"A committee of five officials from the department and an equal number of members of the Joint Action Committee will visit Delhi and study the challan process and, if possible, video-record it," he said.
The committee will submit its report within a month, following which, appropriate action will be taken.
Haryana Transport department yesterday warned its employees of strict action if they participated in the strike.
