Headload workers should be trained to handle machines that can load and unload goods and the loading and unloading jobs should be fully mechanised, according to the Kerala High Court.
Justice Devan Ramachandran orally observed that it was time to end the manual job of the headload workers. It’s high time that the headload work ended and the workers rehabilitated, he said.
