The government had claimed that this decision was taken to end the mafia of goods transporters, but in result, the union will arbitrary and impose high tariff on movement of goods.
“The government should understand the situation of the industry and form committees to fix genuine rates to ensure that the interests of the trucking community as well as the trade and industry are safeguarded”, they asserted.
