 JOWAI: The indefinite strike called by the Jaintia Hills Truck Owners’ Association (JHTOA) in protest against the decision of the Joint Action Committee Coal Miners’ Welfare Association (JACCMWA) to reduce the transportation charge of coal from Jaintia Hills to Beltola in Assam was called off on Friday afternoon.

In a meeting with the JACCMWA at Hynniawmer weighbridge, the JHTOA decided to stick abide by the new rate proposed by the JACCMWA.

Earlier, when the indefinite strike started from 5 am on Friday, JACCMWA members were seen escorting coal-laden trucks while JHTOA members tried to stop them at Hynniawmer.

Hundreds of JACCMWA members rushed to Hynniawmer leading to a tense situation, which calmed later and both the associations held a meeting in presence of policemen and a magistrate and decided to form a joint committee.
