Truckers' strike may push inflation up
It is the third day of the nationwide truckers strike but there are no signs of any compromise. "I can only request transporters to currently withdraw the strike and go for negotiable settlement," said Union Surface Transport Minister T R Baalu. The All India Motor transport Congress, who have 60 lakh members, said the strike will end only if the government agrees to their demands, including a Rs 10 cut in diesel prices.
