ISBT Porters Seek Rate Revision, Welfare Measures
The Business Guardian
|March 18, 2026
The interstate bus terminal (ISBT) porters' union on Tuesday wrote to the Delhi government seeking fixation of porter rates and demanding a set of welfare measures, saying their concerns have remained unresolved despite repeated appeals.
In a letter submitted to the authorities, the union highlighted the urgent need for revision and regulation of porter charges, pointing out that the current rates are outdated.
"The rates that were fixed 32 years ago are still being followed today; keeping in mind the inflation, porter rates should be revised officially," the letter stated.
