RTOs not to check institutional buses for fitness certificates
The number of school or institutional buses running in Anantapur district has come down from 1,309 in 2019 to 1,205 in 2021, and according to the recovery agents for various prominent financial institutions lending money for the purchase of these buses on equated monthly instalments, close to 500 vehicles are likely to be seized due to non-payment for a very long time during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Department of Transport has given an exemption to all institutional buses from paying quarterly taxes till September 30 and the Road Transport Authority staff are not checking for fitness/insurance of the buses.

The heat of the recently concluded local body elections spilled over into the first meeting of the newly elected council of the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation, as the Opposition Left Democratic Front (LDF) questioned the propriety of the 20 councillors to whom the Kerala High Court had issued a notice regarding their oaths, participating in the council.
