TDP, if voted to power, will bring in policies for automobile mechanics, says Lokesh

TDP, if voted to power, will bring in policies for automobile mechanics, says Lokesh

The Hindu
Tuesday, July 25, 2023 04:24:49 PM UTC

Interacting with a group of automobile mechanics at a workshop near S.N. Padu during his Yuva Galam padayatra on July 25 (Tuesday), he said soft loan would be provided for the mechanics to help them start workshops costing over ₹10 lakh each. Training would be provided to workers to handle the latest motorcycles and cars including electric vehicles, Mr. Lokesh said on the 165th day of his walkathon.

The Telugu Desam Party (TDP), if voted to power in 2024 elections, will bring in an ‘autombile mechanic-friendly’ policy to help them eke out a living with dignity, its national general secretary N. Lokesh has said.

Interacting with a group of automobile mechanics at a workshop near S.N. Padu during his Yuva Galam padayatra on July 25 (Tuesday), he said soft loan would be provided to mechanics to help them start workshops costing over ₹10 lakh each.

Training would be provided to the workers to handle the latest motorcycles and cars including electric vehicles, Mr. Lokesh said on the 165th day of his walkathon.

He promised skill centres in each Assembly constituency as the mechanics numbering over 10 lakh struggled to come to terms with the new generation vehicles. He said that the Chandranna Beema scheme would be revived to provide ₹5 lakh to the family members of accident death victims and ₹2 lakh in case of natural death.

A group health insurance scheme would be introduced as a majority of mechanics were in the unorganised sector after mapping the large number of workshops spread across the State using GPSand issuing of identity cards for all workers, he said.

Mr. Lokesh said that he used to visit only public sector Nizam Institute of Medical Sciences for treatment during his childhood in Hyderabad, adding that the government-run hospitals in Andhra Pradesh would be strengthened.
