Transporters and over 800 truckers bringing farm produce to the APMC market in Vashi have accused the government of denying them a parking space. These drivers had been parking their trucks for loading and unloading at a plot which has now been earmarked for a housing project.

Transport bodies said truckers and traders at the Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC) wholesale market, the main source of vegetables and food products for Mumbai, are suffering losses as loading and unloading of goods are being done at random spots.
