RAJOURI DEC 19:-In a heartfelt plea to the district administration, truck drivers in Rajouri have called for better parking facilities and a resolution to the hardships they are currently facing. With increasing challenges related to parking and loading zones, these drivers are urging local authorities to take action to ease their burden.

In light of recent regulations prohibiting truck entry into the city from 8 AM to 8 PM, drivers have expressed their frustration over the limited parking options and inadequate facilities. This restriction has compounded their difficulties, making it challenging to manage daily operations and financial obligations.

Advocate Sayeed Jatt, a senior leader of the National Conference (NC), addressed the media to highlight the drivers’ concerns. “We urge Deputy Commissioner Abhishek Sharma to take immediate steps to resolve these pressing issues,” Jatt stated. “Truck drivers are facing immense pressure; the current regulations make it difficult for them to operate smoothly within the city limits.”

Many drivers have shared that the constraints on their movement have made it increasingly hard for them to meet their financial commitments, including monthly loan installments for their vehicles. “Paying off our truck loans has become a struggle,” one driver lamented. “With the limited time available for us to operate within the city, it is becoming increasingly difficult to earn a living.”

The drivers are hopeful that their appeal will prompt the district administration to consider their plight and work towards establishing better parking facilities and more flexible regulations that allow for smoother operations. As the situation develops, drivers and their advocates continue to push for necessary changes that will facilitate their crucial role in the local economy.
