The members of the association are coming from all over Punjab to record their protest and are demanding to decrease toll tax on Bund road and Ring road. Moreover, one of their most important demand is that the authorities should hurriedly demolish “illegal” toll plazas which are built on Bund road. While speaking to the media, the president of All Pakistan Trucks Trailers Owners Association (APTOA), Lala Yasir said that the authorities are constantly surging the toll tax rates which are unacceptable for us. The toll tax in a short span of time has gone up to PKR 350 from PKR 150, which is not right and the concerned authorities should do something about it.
Police dept was called to the scene to clear the areas; while on the other hand, protesters are not willing to bow their heads until their demands are met. Moreover, the officials of Mazda Association said that if the government and other authorities do not listen to their demands, they will block Lahore’s Mall road in the next step and protest and strike would continue.
