[India] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Punjab Roadways and PRTC contractual workers conducted a two-hour strike at Tarn Taran bus stand on April 3, 2025, demanding regularization of employment status. The brief duration and localized nature suggest minimal immediate disruption.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. The two-hour timeframe and focus on employment terms rather than broader operational issues suggests limited impact on regional transportation networks during the action period.

Watch points

• Monitor for expansion of labor actions to other Punjab transport operators or longer strike durations
• Track any escalation in worker demands that could affect broader regional bus and freight transport services
