Shimla: Private truck and bus operators in Himachal Pradesh abruptly ended their two-day strike without giving any reasons, leaving the public in the dark.
This highlights a worrying control these operators seem to have, with the government seemingly bowing to their influence.
The unwarranted strike caused major problems for the public, as they faced long queues for fuel as most petrol pumps went dry in the state
The truck operators run their operations like a cartels to which the state government just remained a silent spectator revealing a concerning alliance between private operators and the government that needs urgent scrutiny.
Commuters faced unnecessary hardships, and it's time for the government to prioritize the public's interests over the dictatorship and pressure tactics of powerful lobby of private truck and bus operators in the state.
