Due to the farmers’ movement, Asia’s largest truck union Nalagarh is facing a loss of Rs 5 lakh per day. No truck has left for Delhi for the last three days. Whereas every day 200 to 250 trucks went to Delhi.
Truck Union Nalagarh has more than ten thousand trucks and equal number of small trucks as well as tempos.
Demand for trucks to Delhi is placed for truck operators in the union offices located in Nalagarh, Baddi and Barotiwala, but due to the farmers’ movement, no truck operator is ready to go to Delhi.
Earlier, it was closed only at Shambhu border in Ambala of Punjab and Haryana, due to which truck drivers used to pass through Yamunanagar of Haryana. As soon as the farmers came to know about this route, the farmers set up checkpoints at various places so that no goods could reach Delhi. Neither is any raw material going from Delhi, due to which truck operators are incurring a loss of Rs 5 to 6 lakh per day.
One thousand trucks depart every day from BBN, the largest industrial area of Himachal Pradesh. All the trucks go to the next states via Delhi, but due to the closure of the road to Delhi, hundreds of trucks are standing on the way.

Truck operators Krishna Kaushal, Harnek Thakur, Dinesh Kaushal told that the trucks which were carrying goods outside them are also stuck on the border of Punjab and Haryana. The stranded trucks are neither coming back nor able to move forward.
On the other hand, BBN’s appliance, yarn, cardboard, pharmaceutical and cement industries are also being greatly affected by the farmers’ strike. The raw material coming from outside is not coming to the yarn mills. There is a market in Delhi for all the appliances manufactured by BBN in the industries, but no goods have been sent from BBN for the last four days.
BBNIA President Rajiv Aggarwal, Chief Advisor Shailesh Aggarwal, former President Rajiv Guleria said that if the farmers’ movement does not end soon, the largest industrial area of Himachal Pradesh is going to be closed.
