TRUCKERS THREATEN INDEFINITE STIR FROM JANUARY 15
Monday, 02 December 2013 | PNS | BALANGIR | in Bhubaneswar

=====================================================================
The All Odisha Truck Owners’ Association on Sunday threatened to go on an indefinite strike from midnight of January 14-15 next unless their seven-point charter of demands is fulfilled. This was announced at a Press conference at the end of the association’s executive body meeting here.
The demands include hike in freight charges, end of harassment of truckers at the inter-State check-posts and corruption by MVIs posted there and privatisation of the registration system. 
The association leaders said the Government last fixed freight charges in 2008 when the diesel price per liter was Rs 37 as against the present price of Rs 57. The Government has set up three technical committees to look into this problem since 2008 and the committees submitted their reports which were never implemented. The association has tried to appraise the problems to Transport Minister Subrat Tarai, but he has no time for talks, said association secretary Ravi Satpathy.
