The All India Federation of Goods Owners Association has also decided to support the government at this juncture and will co-operate in the delivery of essential commodities.
“We are willing to talk to them if they need any clarifications. But as we have already said, no negotiations are possible,” Baalu said.
Meanwhile, the ministry clarified its position on the imposition of ESMA and NSA through a series of newspaper and TV ads, saying the government had no other option as the crisis pertained to the supply of essential commodities.
