Maharashtra transporters strike: Trucks, buses, taxis to go off roads from Friday; Rs 3,500cr e-challan dues trigger chakka jam

Transporters across Maharashtra have announced an indefinite strike starting Thursday midnight, protesting the alleged misuse of the e-challan system and arbitrary penalties. Talks with the transport commissioner failed, leading to the escalation of the protest, which has garnered support from private car owners and school bus operators. The strike aims to address issues like harassment by officers and unjustified fines.
