NADA informs that the delegation had in-depth discussions on several issues relating to the pandemic.

During the meeting, NADA Vice-President Chaudhary informed the state minister about the impact of Covid-19 on the automobile sector. Due to the lack of vaccination, front-line personnel employed in this sector are facing a hardship.
