Truckers issue ultimatum to government after militants kill four drivers in Kashmir, demand adequate security or threaten to avoid Valley

Firstpost  

In a letter sent to Home Minister Amit Shah, the All India Motor Transport Congress demanded that the trucks which transport goods and services to the Valley be provided security to prevent any attack on them. Terrified after rising fatal attacks on truck drivers by militants in Kashmir recently, transporters across India have threatened to stop operations in the Valley if adequate security is not provided by the government. In a statement, the All India Motor Transport Congress threatened that soon the trucks would stop from transporting goods to Kashmir thereby ceasing supply of essential goods to the Valley if security is not provided to the truckers. But if the truckers themselves are killed in the Valley then how would people fulfil their needs,” says All India Motor Transport Congress secretary-general Navin Gupta.
