Transporters in Rajasthan have halted operations, grounding more than 10,000 trucks across the state, citing demands for better wages and safety measures.
On Thursday, transporters across Rajasthan halted operations, grounding more than 10,000 trucks in a coordinated strike that spanned major highways and border checkpoints.
The protest was launched after months of negotiations with state authorities failed to secure agreed wage increases and safety protocols for drivers.
The stoppage has disrupted freight movement to and from key industrial hubs, raising concerns among manufacturers and logistics firms about potential delays and cost overruns.
State officials have called for an emergency meeting with transport associations, while some truck owners have expressed willingness to resume services once their demands are met.
