The state minister for Transport, Vijayabhaskar, informed that meters with printing facility will be fitted in the auto rickshaws shortly.
During a discussion in the Legislative Assembly, MLA Prince (Congress) brought up the issue that rental cabs and other transports are being operated in a large scale throughout the state. However, the rates for these transports vary from one another. Some cabs charge Rs. 2599 and some others, Rs. 3000. The state government has to take action to make the rates uniform. Also, the government has taken action to install the meter in all autos but the meters are not operated properly. This also needs to be regularised.
The transport minister explained that actions have been initiated to install meters with printing facilities in the autos. A tender has been floated to procure the necessary equipment including the meters. The new meters with printing facility will be installed shortly.
