Tipper truck owners strike in Pollachi demanding hike in rent for trucks carrying construction materials


Coimbatore: Tipper truck owners strike in Pollachi demanding hike in rent for trucks carrying construction materials. Truck owners carrying construction materials are facing great difficulties due to rising diesel prices, rising truck spare parts prices, and rising insurance premiums.



As a result, truck owners in Pollachi are on strike demanding an increase in rent for trucks carrying construction materials.More than 250 lorries carrying construction materials from Pollachi, Anaimalai and Kinathukadavu areas have been parked at the Achipatti ground on Pollachi Coimbatore Road due to the three-day strike.



Construction work has been hampered as trucks carrying construction materials have been involved in the strike. More than a thousand people, including drivers, are at risk of losing their jobs, both directly and indirectly, due to a strike by truck owners carrying construction materials. Therefore, the lorry owners have demanded that the Tamil Nadu government take action to increase the truck rental prices.
