The ongoing strike by truckers, which began from the midnight of Mar. 30 following a call given by the South India Motor Transport Association (SIMTA) to press for their various demands including the roll-back of the increased premium for third party insurance, hike in penalty and toll fee, entered its sixth day today as the talks held between the truckers and the Government failed yesterday.
Meanwhile, Primary and Secondary Education Minister Tanveer Sait, who met the striking truckers at the Lorry Shed in Bannimantap here this morning, urged them to transport the essential commodities that have arrived to city in trains to the godowns.
