Truck drivers across the country are on strike since Monday over the provisions of the Central Government's new law in hit and run cases. Due to this, essential commodities like petrol, diesel, fruits and vegetables are not reaching various states, due to which the prices of all these have increased. There are reports of petrol and diesel pumps going dry from 10 states including Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan. Long queues of people are being seen here. The supply of fruits, vegetables, milk and agricultural goods is being affected. At many places, the administration is contacting transporters to restore supplies.
