T.N. lorry owners demand compensation
The Tamil Nadu Lorry Owners’ Federation staged a protest here, condemning the attacks on lorries and drivers, and called for due compensation for the losses caused during the violence in Karnataka over the Cauvery issue.
The protests by the Sand Lorry Owners’ Federation and the All-India Drivers’ Peravai took place outside the old Municipality office on Wednesday.
The federations alleged that over 200 vehicles, including buses and lorries, were attacked and vandalised. In some parts, vandalism continued even after curfew was imposed.
