This was stated by Gajan Singh Khajuria, president of JKMTCA Jammu, while addressing a press conference. He said that ever since Basant Rath has taken over as Inspector General, Traffic, the public in general and the transport Industry in particular is very happy, as due to personal efforts of Basant Rath, the traffic management system has undergone a revolutionary change.

He further said that all those elements who are threatening Rath with a strike are known enemies of the transport Industry and their ‘mafia’ designs will not be allowed to succeed.
