Mysore/Mysuru: “The State Government, which has increased the price of petrol and diesel, has put truckers into a lot of hardship. Adding to it is the increase in the prices of toll fee, tyre, insurance and spare parts. The State Government should immediately roll back the hike in fuel prices and come to the help of truckers,” urged Mysuru District Truckers Association.
Addressing a press meet at Pathrakartara Bhavan here yesterday, Association President Srinivasa Rao said that the truck owners suffered loss due to drought last year and this year, following hike in fuel prices, the cost of transportation will increase. Truckers are facing difficulties to collect the increase in transportation cost from those sending the goods.
