New Delhi: Days after claiming many victims for traffic rule violations and imposing hefty penalties, the new Motor Vehicle Act 2019 will on Thursday witness a strong protest from the transport union in Delhi-NCR. The United Front of Transport Associations (UFTA) has confirmed that it will go on a one-day token strike on September 19.

The UFTA told a news portal that the economic slowdown has impacted the sector immensely and the new fines have made their operation difficult in the Delhi-NCR.

According to reports, all commercial vehicles including truck, bus, taxi, tempo, maxi-cabs, and auto-rickshaws will take part in the protest against the hefty penalties and restricting third party liability of insurance under the new MV Act 2019.
