JAMMU, Oct 3: A delegation from the All J&K Transport Welfare Association (AJKTWA), under the chairmanship of Karan Singh Wazir, met with the Administrative Secretary to the Government, Transport Department, Avny Lavasa to raise and discuss pressing concerns affecting the transport community across Jammu and Kashmir.
The meeting focused primarily on two major issues , e-challans and the blacklisting of vehicles. Chairman Wazir expressed strong concern that the e-challan system is being implemented without adhering to the prescribed guidelines issued by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH). He further highlighted that over 28,000 commercial vehicles have been blacklisted over the past two years, severely impacting the livelihood of transporters.
Transporters from Kashmir also raised the issue of mismanagement of e-bus routes in Srinagar city, pointing out the lack of clear guidelines and improper implementation of designated routes, which has led to operational chaos and disruption.
Chief patron Parvinder Singh brought to the Secretary’s attention the long-pending payments related to transport services provided for the Prime Minister’s rally, urging immediate disbursal to the concerned transporters.
In response, the Transport Secretary assured the delegation that the issues falling under the department’s jurisdiction would be addressed within the next 10 days. Matters requiring coordination with other departments, such as those involving the IG Traffic and the Divisional Commissioner, will also be taken up in due course for appropriate resolution.
The meeting was attended by several key members of the transport fraternity including: VS Chib, BB Sharma, MS Ahmad, Mohd Yousuf, Abdul Majid, Fayaz Ahmad, Kuldeep Singh, Sanjeev Choudhary, Labh Singh and others.
