AAP Government Mulling Action Against Transport Firm

Delhi transport department recently challaned eight luxury buses of Indo-Canadian Transport Service.

New Delhi: The AAP government has decided to initiate action against Indo-Canadian Transport Service, a company in which Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal reportedly has a stake.

The transport department, which had recently challaned eight luxury buses of the company for permit violations, has written to the Delhi airport operator, asking why the buses were provided space within its premises.

The buses of the company ply from the airport and to Ludhiana, Amritsar, Jhalandar and Chandigarh.

A government official said that the transport department will also write to the Punjab transport authority requesting it to cancel the permit of these buses as they are violating permit rules.

He said that these luxury buses have tourist permit. To ferry passengers, the firm need stage carriage permit in the national capital.

"Under tourist permit, the operator cannot ferry passengers," the official said.
