Srinagar- Kashmir Welfare Transporters Welfare Association, an amalgam of various transporters associations, on Monday called for complete ‘Chakka Jam’ (stop wheels) strike on March 30 in favour of their demands.
Among others, the Association demands roll back of the order dated February 7 by virtue of which age limit has been prescribed for the commercial vehicles. They have demanded “25 years age for the commercial vehicle be retained.”
As per the new order, all the commercial vehicles are being phased out after 20 years in Jammu and Srinagar.
They have also demanded revocation of the order, calling for installation of vehicle tracking devices in the passenger vehicles.
“Order regarding collection of Passenger tax which has been linked to the renewal of route permit of the vehicles shall also be recalled,” the Association said in a statement.
They have also demanded direction to SRTC to run its fleet as per “time table” and refrain from running in “illegal manner.”
