The eight-day-old strike by transporters .......


The eight-day-old strike by transporters has been called off after negotiations between the Government and the representatives of the All India Motors Transport Congress (AIMTC). "The government has assured they will look into things and they will release our people. We are partly happy," said Gurvinder Pal Singh, acting president, AIMTC.

Industry on Monday expressed relief over truckers ending their eight-day strike, which impeded work in key areas at a time when businesses were reeling under the global meltdown.
CII expressed the hope that the transporters would get their demands resolved without disrupting the economy in future. Besides, FICCI said that the strike had created an uncertainty at a time when the economy was going through a critical phase.
