Truck drivers and fuel transporters in Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh are protesting the new Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS). This is because it has increased jail terms for hit-and-run cases in India. These protests have caused road blockades and fuel supply disruptions, leading to long lines at petrol pumps and concerns about the availability of petrol, diesel, and LPG cylinders.
