THE All India Road Transport Workers’ Federation (AIRTWF), wrote to Nitin Gadkari, minister for road transport and highways, on March 21, appealing the government to supply essential commodities at free of cost to the poor and unorganised workers in the transport sector, in the background of the coronavirus disease pandemic.“The transport workers ought to be on the road in spite of the odd conditions. Particularly, the auto rickshaw, taxi, private and state transport bus workers are transporting people knowing the danger that they may also be affected by coronavirus.
