In order to ensure road safety, the traffic police in Delhi intensified action against buses plying without a proper permit by conducting a 4-day drive from February 22 to 25.
During this drive, a total of 323 buses were prosecuted under the Motor Vehicles Act, out of which, 152 were prosecuted in the eastern range, 95 in the central range, 29 in the outer range, 30 in the southern range, 07 in the western range and 10 in the New Delhi range, respectively.
Moreover, 19 buses were impounded. Meanwhile, most of these buses had a Contract Permit or an All India Tourist Permit.
As per the Contract Carriage Permit, buses can pick passengers from one particular spot and drop them at a particular destination. These buses are not allowed to pick and drop passengers between the originating point and their destination.
However, it is noticed that these buses start picking up passengers for different destinations by offering single seats, thereby violating the permit conditions and causing different road safety issues.
