KANDAHAR CITY (Pajhwok): Thousands of truck drivers in different provinces have been striking over the past few days, claiming that police and transport officials illegally take money from them on highways.
They claim that they are not only being extorted, but stopped for hours, harassed and even shot at, with several drivers losing lives and sustaining injuries in recent incidents.
Dad Mohammad, a truck driver on the Kabul-Herat highway, told Pajhwok Afghan News that the strike had been ongoing across the country over the past few days. He said thousands of drivers were protesting and had their trucks parked . . .
