The nationwide transporters' strike received mixed response from various parts of the country on the sixth consecutive day today, amid continued deadlock between truckers' union AIMTC and the government.
The All India Motor Transport Congress (AIMTC), which claims support of 93 lakh truckers, started a nationwide indefinite strike on July 20.
Transporters' demands include a reduction in central and state taxes by getting diesel under the GST so that price of the deregulated commodity can be reduced.
"The government has not initiated any negotiations and deadlock continues. We will intensify our agitation," AIMTC Core Committee Chairman Bal Malkit Singh said.
Essential commodities have been kept out of the strike.
The Indian Foundation of Transport Research and Training (IFTRT), however, said that the strike has failed to make much impact.
