Today the government officials attended the meeting but no one from Adani group company was present in the meeting. Mr Sukhu had asked the operators to agree on the freight.  On this today the operators agreed to fix the freight rate at Rs.10 and Rs.20 paise per kilometer.  The officials of the Sukhu government held talks with the officials of the Adani group regarding this fare.  It is being said that the officials have refused to accept this freight on behalf of Adani.  In such a situation, the government has failed to resolve the impasse between Adani Cement and Aerators.  Today it has been 51 days since the closure of cement factories. On the other hand, the Federation of Truck Operators has withdrawn its call for tomorrow’s state-wide chakka jam.  The Federation believes that when the government is with the truck operators then why to block the wheel.  There is no fight with the government. Now the operators have decided to hold a meeting in Bilaspur and Dadlaghat regarding the upcoming strategy and after that the next strategy will be decided. On the other hand, six members of the Dadla Ghat Truck Operators Sangharsh Samiti gave court arrest at Darlaghat today. After the meeting which ended around eight.
