“While the government has given some relief and also supplied grocery items to the labour class, no consideration of whatsoever nature is provided to the motorcycle pilots, said, Vinay Naik a pilot operating from Sanguem Bus Stand.
“Due to no business and as we are compelled to stay indoors since March 23, our family members have been living in difficult conditions,” Naik added.
He also added that the government should have employed pilots to provide home delivery services.
“If the government had thought on these lines, there would have been less movement of people to the grocery stores and vegetable markets as people could have placed their orders and the home delivery of supplies could have been done by the motorcycle pilots,” Naik added.
He also reiterated their concerns about what will happen to them given the extension of the lockdown till May 3.
