Dear Sri Reddy.

Sub: H.V. Act 1988-Payment of C.on legal heirs of deceased/injured persons-Details of accidents- monthly reports-Ref.

A number of lorry accidents have taken place is our division involving the A. P. Paper hill Lorries/Forest Department Lorries. In most cases, the deceased/injured are poor tribals who travel along with the Lorry, either in the cabin or on the Local.

One of the main reasons for these accidents in the heavy overloading of the Lorries, due to which it over turns at road bends. In all such cases, I suggest that not only the driver be the accused, an in the practice presently but the supervisor, who gets the Lorry loaded, and the drivers both be made the accused.

Secondly, became of their ignorance, most of relatives of deceased/injured are not able to claim compensation under Motor Vehicle Act. In some cases, it has come to my notice, some unserupuless middle man have obtained the signatures/thumb impressions of the relatives of deceased/injured and pockted a major portion of compensation, if not full. This is a grave injuries. Hence, I request you to direct all your Station House officers to send monthly report of read accidents in their respective jurisdiction. The report should definitely reach by office by the 5 th of the following month ie, monthly report of January should reach by the 5 th February This would unable to follow all the cases and see that compensation reaches the correct quarter. The report should definitely contain.
