The on-going trucker's strike took a violent turn with the death of a lorry owner after he was attacked by protesters when he took his truck to road to reach Bangalore from Mulbagal on Thursday night defying the strike even as the talks between government and truckers to end the deadlock failed today. The marathon meeting between the lorry owners' association and Transport Minister Ramanath Rai this evening failed as the government rejected the demand of truckers that they should be given an extension of two years to keep off the 20-year-old transport vehicles from the roads of Bangalore city. Karnataka Lorry Owners' Association Secretary G R Shanmugappa told Deccan Herald after the meeting that the association has decided to continue the indefinite strike.
