Bengaluru, Feb 26: The day-long strike in support of the Bharat Bandh call given by the CAIT on Friday in protest against the rising fuel prices among others, was largely successful as majority of trucks and goods-carrying vehicles did not ply on highways across the state.
The Karnataka State Lorry Owners and Agents Association (KSLO&AA) came out in full support of the Bharat Bandh-call given by the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) to protest against the rising fuel prices, Goods and Services Tax, E-Bill etc.
KSLO&AA President G.R. Shanmugappa said that around 75,000 trucks that operate in Bengaluru both up and down were off the roads. “We did not disturb supply of daily essential commodities like milk, medicine and fruits and vegetables, but our strike was largely successful,” he said.
