Khammam sources have stated that many of the lorry, private bus and car owners haven't registered their names with the labor department but continue to ply their vehicles to transport goods. Earlier they have been asked to register their name on the website of the department.
Presently it is found that details of workers, drivers and others employed in the private sector have not been provided. Meanwhile as per the labor department rules, every vehicle owner employing them for business purpose needs to register the name and pay a certain amount of fees. Moreover after paying the fee, they need to fill the details online such as permit details and period of the permit of the vehicle.
According to sources many of the drivers and assistants working in
vehicles are not paid adequate salaries and do not have insurance
claims. Furthermore the families of drivers do not get any insurance
amounts in case of any accident and it was stated that the details will help
evolve schemes or extending available schemes to these workers.
