Traders to extend only moral support
In support of the Bharat Bandh on Friday, trucks and cargo transport vehicles will not only stop plying, but are also expected to block all highways in Karnataka. This bandh has been called by the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) and All India Transport Welfare Association (AITWA) to protest fuel price hike and demand simplification of Goods and Services Tax (GST).
While the transport sector has decided to participate in the strike, the State’s trade bodies have only extended moral support. They have decided not to down shutters in view of losses already incurred due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, trade will be affected given that trucks will not be plying.

Lorry owners in the State have appealed to the Chief Minister and the Transport Minister to call them for talks immediately to address their charter of demands and avert an indefinite truckers’ strike from December 27.
The strike call, given by the State Lorry Owners’ Federation, Tamil Nadu, has received the backing of the South Zone Motor Transporters’ Welfare Association (SIMTA), an apex organisation of truckers, transporters and passenger vehicle operators.
‘Last resort’ Addressing the media in Tiruchi on Monday, SIMTA general secretary G.R. Shanmugappa said the lorry owners had been pressing the State government to concede their eight-point charter of demands for the past six months, and had decided to go on strike as the last resort.
