TWF calls for strike over Govt’s 50% passenger movement order

Jammu: The Transporters Welfare Forum (TWF) Tuesday called for a strike over fresh government order regarding 50% passenger movement in vehicles and demanded 50 per cent hike in passenger fare.

TS Wazir, President of Jammu and Kashmir Transporters Welfare Association told the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) that the order regarding 50% passenger movement in public transport has been taken without taking the transporters into the consideration.

“With 50% passengers on board, we won’t be able to even earn the money for fuelling purposes,” Wazir said, adding that the government should either hike passenger fare by 50% or the transporters will go for a strike from tomorrow (Wednesday)—(KNO)
