Mysuru: Nearly 9,000 lorries and trucks in Mysuru and Chamarajanagar districts will go off the roads from midnight tonight (Apr. 14) as part of a Statewide indefinite strike called by the Federation of Karnataka State Lorry Owners and Agents Association. The protest is against the sharp hike in diesel prices that has burdened the trucking sector.
Statewide, over 6 lakh trucks will participate in the protest, which will continue until the State Government rolls back the diesel price hike. The strike has drawn support from over 60 associations across 24 States and trucks from these States will not enter Karnataka during the agitation.
