Gig workers face safety risks as insurance benefits remain largely inaccessible

The record

Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.

Trade union data from several States shows that accidents, injuries, and deaths among gig delivery workers are rising as more people take up platform delivery jobs.
At the same time, details shared in Parliament indicate that many families of workers who died or were injured on the job did not receive the accidental or death insurance benefits under the Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY).
The Union government says gig workers will be covered under the Code of Social Security, but benefits currently appear largely inaccessible to those affected.
