A woman driver holds a placard during the Transport Unions’ protest against
the new penal law on hit-and-run cases, at Jantar Mantar, in New Delhi, on
Wednesday. Truckers have been protesting since Monday against the stringent
provision under the recently enacted Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) which
imposes a punishment of up to 10 years or a fine of Rs 7 lakh if the driver
flees in a hit-and-run case without informing the police. (PTI)
