Time to end mafia
This is the beginning of the transport mafia’s end from the state. Every bus plying in the state without a permit and indulging in tax evasion will be impounded. Raja Warring, Transport Minister
The Transport Minister visited the city bus stand on Sunday morning to participate in a cleanliness drive. He then visited the site where the illegal buses were parked and ordered the officials concerned to take action against the violations. Raja Warring said such violations would not be tolerated at any cost and added that those flouting the rules would face the music.
The minister said the directions had been issued to all transport authorities to take action against the illegal operation of buses in the state.
He said a probe would be carried out and the officials found helping illegal transporters would be dealt with an iron hand. He further said all officials must discharge their duties without getting influenced by anyone and rein in defaulters in the transport sector. — TNS
