Karnataka Mulls Health Screenings for Auto, Cab Drivers

The government is thinking about giving health check-ups to auto and cab drivers because more of them seem to be having heart attacks.

A health expert said that it is because they work long hours, eat outside, don't sleep well, and might have health problems like high blood pressure and diabetes without taking medicine.

One politician suggested teaching everyone how to do CPR, which is like helping someone's heart start again.

The government wants to make sure drivers stay healthy.
