Transporters oppose proposed legislation on hit-and-run cases under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. They petitioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking withdrawal of the stringent sections. The transport fraternity is concerned about disruptions in the supply chains due to the enforcement of this law. The transport industry in India is facing a driver shortage of around 27%. The stringent provisions, including a 10-year jail term, may discourage individuals from entering or continuing in the drivers' profession, exacerbating the shortage and disrupting the supply chains.
