Chandigarh, April 11
The Punjab Youth Congress (PYC) has reached out to over 300 truck drivers stranded in Palanpur district of Gujarat, through the Gujarat unit.
The truck drivers, in video messages posted on social media, had complained that they had been putting up in their vehicles parked on the roadside for many days due to lockdown and facing acute shortage of food and water. A majority of these truck drivers were from Malwa. They had taken raw material for cattle feed for Gujarat factories.
Punjab Youth Congress president Barinder Dhillon said after learning about the plight of truckers, he contacted Gulab Singh Rajpur, Gujarat president of the Youth Congress. He said it was unfortunate that factory owners in Gujarat had refused to unload the material. — TNS
