Truckers body AIMTC threatens indefinite strike against rising fuel prices

NEW DELHI: Transporters body AIMTC today threatened to go on an indefinite strike from July 20 to protest against hike in petrol and diesel prices.

"The major issues are - third party premium hike, abnormal and continual diesel, petrol hike, and toll collection policy," it said listing other demands like problems in national permit for tourist vehicles.


AIMTC said if the government fails to address the issues it will launch a "Nationwide Chakkajam from July 20, 2018."
