New Delhi: Protests were held in many states on the second day of the strike by some truckers’ associations against stricter punishments in the new law on hit-and-run cases, even as the government began talks on Tuesday with the agitating groups to end the stir that threatened to impact the supply of essentials and led to panic buying of fuel in several places.
Towards the evening, truck drivers in Maharashtra’s Nashik district called off their strike after local authorities assured them of looking into their demands.
However, Rajasthan saw some violence on Monday night as a mob burnt a police vehicle and pelted stones at security personnel, leaving three injured in Kekri district.
