110 employees of AMTRON to lost job

Staff Reporter, North Lakhimpur, July 29: 110 employees of AMTRON who are working in different District Transport Offices (DTOs) will lost their jobs as the Assam Government has given authority to a Kolkata-based private company named PHUKAM to do works in the DTOs instead of AMTRON. According to information, the employees of AMTRON have been doing work related to issuing driving licenses and registration certificates, and sending them to the applicants through speed post. But PHUKAM, who has taken to do these works in the DTOs across the state, sends the driving license and registration certificates through private courier service. As a result, applicants become unable to track the delivery of their documents. Another allegation against the PHUKAM is that the company has no public relations unlike the AMTRON had. PHUKAM is a fully private sector company serving people only for its own private gain, it is alleged. The 110 employees of AMTRON who are going to lose their respective jobs have urged the Chief Minister to take necessary steps in their matter.
