Transport ministry proposes secured cover for moving dumpers, tippers

The draft notification also proposes that devices such as rear-view mirrors, indirect vision systems, guard rails, direction indicator rub-rails (rubber beading up to 20 mm on each side), side footsteps, and the load body enclosure system for tippers and dumpers should not be included while calculating the overall height. TOI on January 24 had reported about the govt’s move.
