Trucks off the road

NEW DELHI APRIL 14 . Lakhs of trucks went off the road today in response to the nationwide indefinite strike called by the All India Motor Transport Congress to protest against the value added tax and the frequent hike in diesel prices.

The strike is likely to put pressure on prices of essential commodities such as milk and vegetables and other household products as the supply chain would be severely impacted during the period.
