The truckers' strike had so far failed to make a strong impact in Uttaranchal, top government officials said today. | |
| Nevertheless, the Uttaranchal government has chalked out contingency plans to meet the challenge arising out of the strike, according to Chief Secretary R S Tolia. |
| |
| He said the state government was constantly reviewing the situation. Although the effect of the strike was not much visible, officials maintained it might create scarcities in the remote areas in a day or two. |
| |
| Tolia said the state government would ensure that truckers who were not taking part in the strike did not face any transportation hurdles. |
| |
| Top district officials including district magistrates and superintendents of police had been asked to keep adequate supplies of essential commodities including petroleum products in their areas, Information Secretary N N Prasad said. |
| |
| Prasad said oil companies like Indian Oil Corporation and others had assured the government of adequate stocks of petroleum products in the state. |
| |
| A control room had been set up in the office of the transport commissioner in Dehra Dun to assess the situation, Prasad said. |
