The motor workers also demand implementation of Motor Workers’ Welfare Scheme that was passed by the previoys State Assembly, according to a Press communique issued by the Forum here today.

The Forum further alleged that though the recent pandemic-induced lockdown and restrictions severely affected the economic condition of motor workers and owners in the state, no assistance or relief was forthcoming from the state government, which instead, has resorted to impose heavy fines on motor owners on various pretext.
