The project aims at truck drivers stranded on highways due to the lockdown with the view of providing them with the required information regarding food, water, and safe parking places in their vicinity. Supported by Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd., All India Motor Transport Congress (AIMTC) and Agarwal Packers and Movers Ltd (APML), the app., according to the company, is turning out to be an enabler under the current trying conditions. Acting as an enabler in these uncertain times, it has more than 400 BPCL Pumps (140 BPCL Company owned pumps), six APML Hubs, and more than 30 dhabas on highway mapped, he mentioned.
