On the Road Again

IN the first in the country, the All India Transporters Welfare Association (AITWA) recently launched the first on-road legal assistance programme, “Lawyer on the Spot” (LotS). It has tied up with the legal tech platform “Lawyered” for affiliation.

The programme will provide round-the-clock online legal help to commercial vehicles, urgent local legal representation, and education on basic rights and procedures. To reduce the lag due to accidents, thefts, and seizures of commercial vehicles by corrupt officials, AITWA started this programme.

Mahendra Arya, president of AITWA, stated: “Incidents can happen to anyone, anywhere and at any time. However, it is imperative to understand that a majority of trucks get delayed due to forced stoppages or corrupt officials.” According to AITWA, any industrial automobile in trouble can make a call to the helpline and the drivers will be linked with authorities on the location of the incident, together with the police, Regional Transport Office (RTO), and taxation departments. The Association encourages transporters to put up a strong resistance against such practices. Through LotS, AITWA strives to fight corruption legally in the road transport sector.
