Meanwhile, officials have also issued a stern warning to private bus operators in view of the increased passenger rush during the Sankranti season. The department cautioned that strict action would be taken against private buses found charging fares beyond the permitted limits, illegally transporting goods, or operating stage carriage services in violation of their permit conditions.
The department has instructed enforcement officials to conduct special inspections of private buses across the state. Vehicles found violating norms will be seized, and necessary legal action will be initiated against the operators and managements concerned, the department said.
