3.5 lakh trucks carrying Rs 35,000 crore goods stranded on roads

35万辆运载物资的卡车滞留在路上，运载物资价值3500亿卢比

NEW DELHI: An estimated 3.5 lakh inter-state trucks carrying goods worth over Rs 35,000 crore are stranded on roads, outside factories and godowns, according to transporters.

新德里：据运输公司称，估计有多达35万辆跨邦运输物资的卡车滞留在公路上、工厂和仓库外，所运载的物资价值3500亿卢比。

The goods range from cars and SUVs to two-wheelers and white goods such as ACs, refrigerators, washing machines, electrical items and industrial raw material such as chemicals, steel and cement.

这些货物包括小车、SUV、两轮车，空调、冰箱、洗衣机、电器等家电以及化学制品、钢铁、水泥等工业原材料。

Truckers and transporters TOI spoke to said the goods are at risk of damage and even pilferage as drivers and helpers have run away in many cases due to the absence of food, money or proper sanitation. Also, in most of the cases, there are no helpers and other support staff to unload the stocks once they have reached their destination, be it factories or dealerships and godowns.

《印度时报》采访的卡车司机和运输公司称，由于没有吃的、也没有钱，没有卫生条件，司机和助手很可能会逃跑，货物有损坏甚至被盗的危险。而且，在大多数情况下，货物到达目的地后，无论是在工厂、经销商店还是仓库，都没有后勤人员负责卸货。

“It is a painful situation for truckers and goods worth thousands of crores are literally lying on roads. Something should be done immediately to help us out,” Kultaran Singh Atwal, president of All-India Motor Transport Corporation said.

全印汽车运输公司（AIMTC）总裁阿特瓦尔称：“对卡车司机来说很痛苦，价值数亿卢比的货物就搁在路上，应该马上做点什么来帮助他们。”

Truckers seek bailout package from government

卡车司机向政府求助

AIMTC is the biggest trucking association in the country and claims that its members control nearly 1 crore small, big and specialised trucks. Atwal said that while trucks carrying essentials such as food, medicines and sanitation products are being allowed, the government should also ensure the movement of other goods to the designated destinations so that the system can be unclogged and the commodities transported.

AIMTC是全国最大的卡车运输协会，该协会会员管理着近1000万辆小型、大型及专用卡车。阿特瓦尔说，虽然允许用卡车运送食品、药品和卫生用品等生活必需品，但政府也应该确保其他货物能运送到指定目的地，这样运输系统就可以畅通无阻，商品也能运送到目的地。

“We are still facing curbs. They should help lift the restrictions so that trucks can move. It is a pitiable position with many trucks stranded at state borders or other check points. Many trucks are idling at parkings or other places.”

“我们仍面临限制。政府应该解除这些限制，这样卡车才能通行。这是一个可悲的情况，很多卡车滞留在邦与邦的边境或检查站。许多卡车闲置在停车场等地方。”

Many truckers are also complaining that drivers and helpers are being left to fend for themselves. “At many places, there is no food, medicines, or even clean toilets. Also, sanitisers and masks are not there, and this has prompted many truckers to leave the vehicles and head back home.”

许多卡车司机也抱怨说，司机和助手只能自谋生路。“在许多地方，没有食物、药品，甚至没有厕所上。此外，由于缺乏消毒剂和口罩，许多卡车司机只好弃车回家。”

Vipul Nanda, president of car carriers’ association, said nearly 1,500 large customised container trucks — carrying around 10,000 cars and SUVs of various brands — are also stranded on the roads, or outside factories and godowns.

汽车运输协会会长维普尔•南达表示，近1500辆大型集装箱卡车——运载约1万辆不同品牌的汽车和suv——也滞留在路上，或工厂、仓库外。

“Please remember that’s this is an asset-heavy industry, and thus there are heavy debts too that transporters carry. If business remains paralysed, there are high chances of many transporters getting bankrupt,” Nanda said

南达说：“请记住，运输是一个支出较大的行业，运输公司也背负着沉重的债务。如果运输仍然处于瘫痪状态，许多运输公司很有可能破产”
