Mumbai: LOTS (Lawyer On The Spot), an on-road legal service providing company that helps commercial vehicle drivers who require lawyers more often than not instantly as they are usually stopped by police officers and harassed recently launched a new campaign called LOTS24X7.
It is of the utmost importance to have a good solicitor by your side if you are ever in a legal situation. Henceforth, LOTS has collaborated with the All India Transporters Welfare Association (AITWA) to create a 24-by-7 legal assistance helpline. The intent behind LOTS is that it helps empower the truck drivers community, who are usually legally ignorant, as the conventional legal consultation would be very hard to reach, especially during their odd working hours. It has also ensured to be affordable and accessible to reach its target market. They have rigorously worked towards creating a network for every 50 km of the National Highways and roads under their “BharatMala Project.”
They have rigorously worked towards creating a network for every 50 km of the National Highways and roads under their “BharatMala Project.” With LOTS24x7, the team is working towards spreading awareness about the distress that commercial vehicle drivers of our nation face on a daily basis. The team spends a whole day with a truck driver to hear their plight. What comes as a result of this is that they open up about the difficulties they have faced while travelling on the highways throughout their long careers; including the harassment they face from policemen, other authorities, and even local people. Furthermore, highlighting how they fight through the common gloomy outlook that truck drivers are usually in the wrong. The whole community drives rashly, is rude and abusive, and is always at fault are a few examples of the incalculable misconceptions that everyone holds.
Speaking on the campaign, Lawyered founder & CEO Himanshu Gupta said, “The vision of this campaign in the long run is to not only raise awareness but also help the people feel legally liberated to a point where they don’t feel any predicament while working.”
