    Labour problems in city = Loss for businesses for Earth moving/transportation/construction businesses. Which means tmrw driver says bye bye then Owner under loss!!... Owner says lets try new driver? Fine.. But RTO has no open source or public records of past accidents/offences of Public vehicle drivers.. Disaster 100%! We should learn from the Gulf countries!!

    Looks like lack of experience. Transporting EME needed special care. Very sad.
