In their petition to Regional Transport Officer here, they said that with the ban on tourist places, hotels and shops, the drivers belonging to travel industry were facing lot of hardship.
In view of this, regional transport department and Tamil Nadu government should provide financial assistance as relief to eke their livelihood.
