New Delhi, July 29: Minister of Road Transport and Highways Kamal Nath today said that the truckers should not go on strike in the larger interest of the country after they on Tuesday threatened to go on an indefinite strike to protest against the present toll policy.
The truckers organisation, All India Motor Transport Congress (AIMTC) has demanded lower toll tax or nearly 62 lakh trucks would go off roads from August 6, bringing movement of goods throughout the country to a halt.
"We are discussing with truckers, we had a meeting today also...we hope that they do not take such a step as many people would be affected by their move," Nath said of the talks held between the Road Ministry and AIMTC.
