India truck driver strike to protest rising fuel prices
Union leaders say millions of truck drivers have gone on strike across India to protest rising fuel prices and road tolls, in a move that could paralyze much of the Indian economy.

Union leader Gurinder Pal Singh told The Associated Press talks between the main truckers' union and the government broke down Wednesday and the "strike is on until there is a solution from [the government's] side."
The All India Motor Transport Congress represents 4.8 million truckers. It is demanding lower taxes on diesel and the repeal of a recent hike in toll road fees, which they say are eliminating profits.
