“As of now, over 1000 vehicles have got insurance claims. Insurance companies have agreed to speed it up,” it said. It also added that steps have been taken to bring the flood-affected vehicles to the service centre free of cost through tow vehicles.
In a statement, he said that since the number of tow vehicles is less considering the extent of flood-affected vehicles, the transport commissionerate is collecting the details of all 2,080 tow vehicles. It also advised the vehicle owners not to try to start the flood-affected vehicles and instead call the toll-free numbers of vehicle companies to arrange for tow vehicles.
