Fuel stations go dry in Jammu after transporters strike on Centre's new law on hit and run cases

| @indiablooms | 02 Jan 2024, 05:52 pm

People faced hardships as several fuel stations went dry in Jammu in view of the strike by the transporters opposing the new law of the Central government in hit-and-run cases.

The transporters in various districts of the Jammu region under the banner of the All J&K Transporters Association staged protests demanding rollback of the new law.

"The law should be imposed to every citizen. Why only drivers of commercial vehicles are entitled to face rigorous punishment and heavy fines in hit and run cases," said the transporters union leader.

He said that the government should take a call and amend the law.

Meanwhile, several filling stations went dry due to the strike because of non-supply of fuel by the tankers.

Few petrol pumps witnessed huge rush of people standing in queue for fuel.

The transporters staged protest at Lakhanpur in Kathua district--the gateway to Jammu and Kashmir.
