Udupi RTO holds Janaspandana programme where public complain of limited bus services
Udupi Regional Transport Officer G.P. Gangadhar has urged private stage carriage owners, who had surrendered their permits owing to COVID-19, to get the permits released at the earliest as the life was returning to normal following decrease in the number of positive cases.
As many as 573 permits of private stage carriage buses were surrendered to the Udupi RTO in the last year. Only a few were got released by owners, Mr. Gangadhar said in a recent Janaspandana programme held in his office.
Instances of buses being operated without getting their permits released were being reported. In such cases, heavy penalty would be levied on owners, who also have to pay required road tax, he added.
