Delhi transporters plan E20 fuel protest

Quotes
Harish Sabharwal
National president of the All India Motor Transport Congress
“After the students’ protest (at Jantar Mantar), we saw the support they mobilised through the internet. Many of us transporters are old and not tech‑savvy… I don’t know how to use Instagram and post videos online. So, we decided to ask our children to spread the word among young transporters and drivers active on social media.”
