This 2-day strike by transporters in October comes up with the loss of 2,000 crores to the transport industry. AIMTC, with more than 93 lakh transport bodies and almost 5 lakh busses and tourist operators under its domain claimed assistance from various transporter authorities. Due to this transport strike, the supplies of commodities are expected to be affected.   

On the first day of AIMTC strike near about 70 to 80 percent of the trades around the country have shut down. This protest was supported by all the AIMTC constituent members, who are expecting the same ratio on day 2 of this strike. This has also been stated by the AIMTC officials that the protest might get started again after Diwali.
