Prices of Commodities rise!

Protesting against the disruptive policies under Goods and Services Tax (GST), truck owners and operators went on a 36-hour nationwide strike starting from 8 a.m. Monday.

The truckers’ move is likely to disrupt the supplies of commodities and it could lead to a spike in prices of essential goods.

“The post GST scenario has critically impaired the transport trade. The leadership of All India Motor Transport Congress and other transport associations have proclaimed the two-day token nationwide strike starting at 8 a.m. on October 9 (Monday) to 8 p.m. on October 10.

We also support this,” Calcutta Goods Transport Association`s President Prabhat Kumar Mittal told reporters in Kolkata.
