MVD books crew of 46 private buses in special drive

The Motor Vehicle department (MVD) on Monday (September 28) booked crew members of 46 private buses and imposed fines totalling ₹80,000 during a special drive. The drive was conducted in the wake of frequent complaints about traffic rule violations and unruly behaviour by a section of private bus workers.

The drive focussed on Thripunithura and Poothotta. Driving without a licence, non-payment of tax, conducting services without a valid permit and deployment of crew members without a police clearance certificate were among the offences detected during the drive.
