In a major development, India’s protesting truck and transport workers have called off their nationwide strike following government assurances. Hundreds of drivers had been demonstrating against a controversial new law imposing harsh penalties for negligent driving accidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Strike<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Late last evening, top leaders of the All India Motor Transport Congress (AIMTC) met with Home Secretary Ajay Bhalla. After discussions, the government agreed to put the law – called Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita 106\/2 – on temporary hold and open it to further consultations before implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This law stipulated up to 10 years imprisonment or Rs 7 lakh in fines for drivers who cause serious accidents by negligent driving and then flee the scene without reporting it. Protesters argued this was unjust and made drivers vulnerable to mob attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Announcing<\/a> the end of strike, transport leaders told workers: “You are not just our drivers, but our soldiers. We do not wish you hardship.” They confirmed that the controversial 10-year penalty clause now stands suspended until at least the AIMTC’s next meeting with authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We will not enforce any new rule without first meeting transport representatives,” Home Secretary Bhalla stated. “Worker safety is important to us. We aim to find a mutually agreeable way forward.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With these assurances, nationwide protests have been called off, bringing relief to authorities. Transport workers will resume duties immediately as talks continue between government and industry groups over revisions to the law. All sides hope collaborative discussions will lead to fair outcomes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
