Reports on bus operators refuted
Reports on bus operators refuted
The Hindu
DHARWAD: The Deputy Commissioner, Dharwad, has denied reports that the City Infrastructure Improvement Committee has decided to provide accommodation to private bus operators in the new bus stand of the North-West Karnataka Road Transport Corporation the Gokul Road in Hubli.
This was made clear by the outgoing Deputy Commissioner, Gourav Gupta, Deputy Commissioner, in a statement here on Friday.
The statement comes in the wake of the exception taken by K.S. Sharma, president of the Akhila Karnataka Rajya Raste Saarige Noukarara Mahamandal.
Mr. Gourav Gupta said the concern that the private bus operators might attract more passengers and thereby cause loss to the NWKRTC was discussed and it was decided to identify a place to shift these operators.
"However, it was left open for finalisation after discussion with the parties concerned," he said. The meeting did not take any decision to shift the private operators to the new bus stand, the statement said.
According to informed sources, the issue of accommodating the private operators in the new bus stand figured in the form of a suggestion made by the Deputy Commissioner who presided over the meeting but was rejected by P. Manivannan, Managing Director of NWKRTC.
Dr. Sharma welcomed the clarification that no decision had been taken on shifting the private bus operators to the new bus stand.
