The transporters held a massive demonstration at Ned also and accused the Government for deliberately ignoring the renovation of road. Shouting slogans they said that transporters are paying rest 3500 Road Tax per year but the road is not being maintained by the Government.
The passengers had to face a tough time as public transport was not available. The school going children and employees had to go by foot due to strike. The protestors warned that in case early renovation of the road did not take place they will be forced to cancel the services and the Government will be responsible for all consequences.
