Retirement age of transport employees will be reduced to 58: Minister informs Assembly

Transport Minister Sivashankar recently announced that the retirement age for transport corporation drivers and conductors in Tamil Nadu will be reduced from 60 to 58. This decision was made after a study conducted in Chennai workshops revealed that many drivers and conductors suffer from infectious diseases due to long working hours and prefer to retire earlier.

The Chief Minister has given approval for this change, which will be implemented soon. During a Legislative Assembly debate on the transport department’s subsidy request, members of the AIADMK party criticized the current transport corporations and pointed out employment disparities during DMK and AIADMK rule. However, Minister Sivashankar assured the sector is progressing and reaffirmed the government’s commitment to revitalizing schemes.
