Transporters in Rajasthan have begun an indefinite strike demanding the removal of vehicle tracking devices and addressing permit-related grievances.
Transporters across Rajasthan have initiated an indefinite strike in protest against the mandatory installation of vehicle tracking devices on their fleet. The workers claim that the devices compromise their privacy and increase operational costs.
The strike also highlights long-standing issues with transport permits, which many operators say are difficult to obtain and subject to frequent bureaucratic delays. Transporters demand clearer guidelines and a streamlined permit process.
The protest has already disrupted freight movement in several districts, prompting authorities to call for dialogue with the transport unions. No official statement has been released by the state government yet.
The strike is expected to continue until the transporters’ demands are met, with union leaders warning that they will extend the action if negotiations stall.
Industry analysts note that the move could have ripple effects on supply chains and logistics costs across the state.
