Congratulations! Transport Commissioner, Additional Transport
Commissioner, Joint Transport Commissioners, Deputy Transport Commissioners, Regional
Transport Officers and hundreds of Motor
Vehicle Inspectors and Assistant Motor Vehicle Inspectors for discovering in
the last three days that a number of Private Travel Buses and School Buses are
plying in violation of license and fitness rules. In the process you have
prevented the Bus operators from further cheating the Government exchequer and
causing tragic damage to public life and property.
This I understand is the primary duty of RTA, so I wonder why
there has been so much neglect for so long. If all this was curbed much before,
many lives that were lost in road accidents; could have been prevented and
perhaps the lives of 32 Shirdi pilgrims in the recent mishap avoided. It was a
heartrending tragedy, 32 persons, mostly youngsters lost their lives and then we
woke up to all these transport irregularities.
As a result of weeklong news following the Shirdi Bus accident, I
think everyone has developed a Bus phobia and is travelling under tremendous anxiety
and fear. Thank God, I don’t have any Bus travelling to do in the near future.
I hope things will improve soon.
In the meantime, as is the trend, the CBI should step-in to find reasons
responsible for these irregularities and severely punish the culprits.
