Long queues at petrol pumps in India as people rush to fill their tanks amid fears of a fuel shortage. The queues are a result of truck drivers protesting against the new penal law on hit-and-run accidents, which is part of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita. The law stipulates up to 10 years imprisonment or a fine of Rs 7 lakh for drivers causing serious road accidents and fleeing the scene. Protests have erupted across the country, with private bus and truck drivers enforcing 'chakka jams'. Drivers and transporters are demanding the repeal of the law due to concerns of unjust punishments.source what is the new hit-and-run law Truck drivers protest
