The Hindu Business Line : AP truckers reiterate demand

VISAKHAPATNAM: Truck operators will not call off the agitation until the Union Government concedes their main demand for withdrawal of service tax, Mr B. Satyanarayana, Convenor of the Visakha Motor Transport Congress, affiliated to the All-India Motor Congress, has said.

At a press meet here on Tuesday, he said the talks with the Union Government could not make much headway, as the Government was not considering withdrawal of service tax. "Unless that demand is conceded, we will not call off the agitation,'' he said.
