New Delhi - India's truck operators called off their countrywide strike to protest high taxes and rising fuel bills after talks with the government on Friday, officials said.
The All India Motor Transport Congress (AIMTC) which has the support of freight haulers with a fleet size of 4.8 million trucks went on strike Wednesday to press for the abolishment of the toll tax and rationalization of duties on diesel.
"We have called off our strike since the government has assured that our demands will be met," Charan Singh Lohara, president of AIMTC told reporters early on Friday.
He said the government had agreed to freeze the toll tax on highways for a year, resolve a service tax issue and set up a committee to look into their grievances.
