One-fourth buses in UP unfit, scrap them if owners fail to make amends: CS

Lucknow: Almost one in every four buses registered in Uttar Pradesh does not have a valid road worthiness certificate, according to a government order issued by chief secretary Manoj Kumar Singh, who has directed commissioners, district magistrates and other officials to ensure these vehicles are scrapped if their owners do not remedy the situation. Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath recently directed officials to take effective action against unauthorised passenger buses. In view of recent road accidents in the state involving buses operating without valid documents, chief minister Yogi Adityanath recently directed officials to take effective action against unauthorised passenger buses. “Otherwise, ensure scrapping action through RVSF as per rules against unauthorised passenger buses operating without valid documents, so that the number of passenger buses shown on the vehicle portal operating without valid documents can be reduced to zero,” the chief secretary said in the order.
