| Complete documents in 15 days or face black list: Commissioner to transporters | | Doda Accident Aftermath | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 21: In the aftermath of tragic road accident near Assar on the Batote-Kishtwar National highway in which 39 passengers lost their lives, Transport Commissioner has issued an order directing owners of the vehicles to complete their documents within 15 days or their vehicles will be black listed.
An order issued by Rahul Sharma Transport Commissioner reads: “It is for the information of all the registered owners of vehicles through the medium of this public notice that some of the vehicles are plying without having all necessary documents including Fitness certificate, Road Tax, Validity of Permit, Payment of Passenger Tax, etc.”
In the order, the owners of these vehicles have been informed to get the documents of the vehicles updated within 15 days positively failing which all the violating vehicles would be blacklisted and action as warranted under the rules shall be initiated against them without giving any further chance.
As reported by the Early Times, the ill-fated bus, which met with a tragic road accident on October 15, bearing registration number JK02CN -6555 was registered in April 2020.
As per the rules route permit was allotted to the bus for three years from April 2020 to 2023. The route permit of the ill-fated bus expired in April this year but the owner of the vehicle did not renew it.
Instead of getting the permit renewed, the bus was plying on the route illegally without a route permit.
“Shockingly the passenger vehicle was plying on Jammu-Kishtwar route but neither officers of the Traffic Police nor of the Transport Department checked the bus,” locals said.
They said that the ill-fated bus regularly operated between Jammu to Kishtwar on the highly sensitive Batote-Kishtwar and Jammu-Srinagar National highways without a route permit. |
