TGPWU launches safety awareness drive for gig, platform workers in Hyderabad

The Telangana Gig and Platform Workers Union (TGPWU) has launched a safety awareness programme urging gig and platform workers across Hyderabad to use the City Police’s Hawk Eye mobile application for emergency assistance, reporting violations and accessing police-related safety services.

The Hawk Eye application offers an SOS emergency alert and location-sharing facility, through which users can alert friends or relatives and share their details and location with the relevant police authorities during an emergency.

“Gig and platform workers spend long hours on the roads and frequently enter unfamiliar locations while providing services. Safety must be a priority. TGPWU appeals to every worker to stay alert, learn how to use the Hawk Eye App and use the SOS facility whenever they face an emergency,” said TGPWU founder president Shaik Salauddin.
