Mysuru taxi drivers oppose govt. directive to install tracking device and panic button
The Mysore District Tourist Vehicle Drivers’ and Owners’ Welfare Association on Monday staged a demonstration outside the RTO office here, opposing the State government’s directive to install a vehicle location tracking device and an emergency panic button in all public transport vehicles and those operating under a national permit. In a memorandum to the RTO, Mysuru, the association claimed the Transport Department was not considering issuing fitness certificates until the devices were installed. Meanwhile, the Karnataka Taxi Drivers’ Association, Mysuru, also staged a demonstration urging the State government to bear the cost of installing the devices in their vehicles. They also demanded a 30% cut in road tax on tourist vehicles, and demanded strict action against those ferrying tourists in vehicles with “white board” registration.
