Auto majors issue travel advisories

With Pune leading the race for severe grip of highly contagious swine flu, the multinational auto majors like Renault and General Motors have issued travel advisories to their employees.

Many automakers such as Tata Motors, Skoda, Mahindra & Mahindra, Mahindra Renault, General Motors and Bajaj have production facilities or offices in Pune, where the swine flu has claimed 10 victims.

Renault India have issued travel advisory to their employees that there should be no movement from office unless it is very urgent. Also, the company is keeping a close eye on the situation at its logistics centre in Pune.

On the other hand, General Motors have medical set up in both Talegaon and Halol plants and any person coming from any of the affected countries has to get through this check up system. Moreover, the company has also asked its employees to avoid travel to any of the swine flu affected countries, unless it is unavoidable.

Also, Volkswagen is regularly updating the employees with the preventive measures for swine flu. The group has a doctor inside its factory premises in Aurangabad and Chakan, and any employee with any symptoms of even a common flu is directed for a check up.
