“For issuing a route permit of a trnasport, the appointment letter has to be considered. But it’s not being implemented due to reluctance of both the workers’ and the owners’ side,” he said.
He said that both sides have agreed on the issue and the labour wing has been directed to officially write to both parties regarding the matter.
