He expressed anguish over the callousness of the administration and the traffic organization, saying the concerned have failed in containing this menace. He alleged negligence of traffic police in enforcing norms, as the mini-bus operators are seen plying vehicles amid blaring music and without wearing uniforms.
“There are credible reports that some of the drivers ply vehicles without licenses, as they seemingly enjoy impunity”, he said, adding that despite presence of traffic police such violations are taking place brazenly.
He stated that the mini buses are indulges in races, blowing horns at an ear drum piercing levels and are the biggest harm to our environment, as most of these buses doesn’t fulfill the pollution norms.
