“Transporters across the state attempted to draw the state government’s attention to issues related to e-challan by halting vehicles at key locations in all districts and sounding horns at 4 pm on March 4. The protest was organised across various places under the banner of the Maharashtra Transport Action Committee,” said Dr Baba Shinde, a member of the committee.
