Salem sources have stated that transportation of goods by Lorries to Karnataka and to other States from the western district remained crippled on Saturday following agitations over the Cauvery issue and according to lorry associations here, the situation has not become normal even after six days of unrest.
It is stated that a majority of the lorries transporting essential commodities are taken up to the Tamil Nadu border check post during day time and they were moved with a lot of caution to Karnataka and through the State during night hours.
Earlier on Saturday, about 20 Lorries from Salem city carrying essential commodities to Karnataka were attacked in different parts of the neighboring State by people opposed to the release of water in the Cauvery on Supreme Court direction.
Presently vegetables and other commodities were lying in lorry sheds waiting for normalcy to return and the Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation buses were not operated to Karnataka through Hosur for yet another day, affecting life of people residing in villages near the inter-State border.
