Drivers of autos, taxis, buses and trucks may actually get retirement benefits like pension and other perks if the state government has ist way.

Pawar, who held a review meeting on the proposed welfare board at Mantralaya, said that the departments of transport and labour would jointly work on the project to make it into a reality and that the government was committed to set up such a body. The meeting was attended by minister of state for transport Gulabrao Deokar and labour minister Hasan Mushrif.

“Drivers of public and private transport have to face many challenges and serve the society selflessly. It is important to look for their security and a welfare board for them would be a solution,” Pawar said.
