While parts of the country witnessed heavy traffic jams, long queues at fuel stations caused anxiety among the people in Andhra Pradesh on Tuesday.
However, towards the end of the day, a few petrol bunks saw people queuing up for fuel after they learnt about the possible crisis on account of the truckers’ strike.
The protests in some parts of the country were triggered by the provisions under the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS), which states that a driver who causes a serious road accident through negligent driving and flees without reporting the incident will face up to 10 years in prison or a fine of ₹7 lakh.
