Truckers affiliated with the Federation of West Bengal Truck Operators Association announced a three–day strike in West Bengal State from 11 to 13 September.


Routes like National Highways 12 (NH12) and 19 (NH-19), as well as significant junctions in cities, are potential locations for rallies. The labour action is likely to impact trucking operations to and from Kolkata Port.


During the labour stoppage, order fulfilment and delivery may experience temporary delays.


Local cargo transportation by road will also be delayed, especially if truckers block roadways. Protesters may obstruct or march beside roads, disrupting localised transportation.
