Court moved over
purchase of low-floor buses
Chandigarh, June 14 In his petition, Mr Arvind Thakur alleged that the UT Administration was buying the buses which had been “rejected” by other states in the wake of serious defects. The court will take up the matter tomorrow. Mr Thakur alleged that 14 such buses which were purchased over a year ago, had been giving poor performance. These had proved to be costlier than other buses as they gave a low fuel average. He alleged that the rear-side engine added more pollution. Meanwhile, certain defects pointed out to the company during inspection were yet to be rectified even during the second was stage of inspection which conducted on May 19. The CTU is likely to add 102 new buses to its fleet by next month. The Administration had decided to purchase the buses and introduce the “grid system” with a view to improving the functioning of the public transport system. Even city transport unions are divided on the purchase of the buses which are touted to be conforming to the latest standards and fuel-efficiency by officials. While certain unions have thrown their lot with the Administration on the issue, others are opposing the purchase. Apart from the senior functionaries of the Administration, Mr Thakur had even made the CTU Employees Union and the CTU Conductors Union respondents in the petition.
