Divisional Commissioner has directed the transport department to take stringent action against private bus operators in Madhya Pradesh who are reportedly failing to provide the mandated 50% fare concession to disabled passengers.
The government order aims to facilitate travel for individuals with disabilities by halving their bus fares. However, numerous reports indicate that this benefit is not being extended to passengers in many private buses across the state.
This directive follows the non-compliance observed in the implementation of the fare reduction policy, highlighting a gap between government directives and their on-ground execution for vulnerable sections of society.
