Truck drivers protest a new hit-and-run law in India, affecting 2,000 petrol pumps. The law, part of criminal code bills, sparks a nationwide strike among drivers. The government plans to consult with the All India Motor Transport Congress before enforcing the law, which could result in 10 years of jail time. Drivers are urged to resume work as the government clarifies that the new laws are not in effect yet.
