The second wave of Covid-19 has come down heavily on the road-transport sector of Gujarat as the truck-transport industry in the state is incurring at least Rs 150 crore business losses per day amid surging cases, night curfew in all major towns and mini-lockdown imposed by the state government.
The business volume of the transport sector in Gujarat is witnessing a 50% dip due to the closure of the majority of Agriculture Produce Market Committees (APMCs), textile markets and a curfew from 8 pm to 6 am across the state, says Mukesh Dave, president of Akhil Gujarat Truck Transport Association (AGTTA).
