Fourteen transporters from Mansa today lodged complaints against the District Transport Officer (DTO) for issuing challans and impounding buses after they refused to give vehicles for the rally of the SAD-BJP at Mansa today.
In their complaint to the Election Commission, Governor, Chief Minister and the Deputy Commissioner, the transporters alleged that the buses were impounded following their refusal.
Raj Singh of Jhunir Transport alleged that eight buses were impounded today. Some of these are parked in government depots and some in private houses as well. He said the eight buses were impounded today following the refusal of the transporters to give buses for political rallies
Raj said the small transporters with one or two buses were the worst affected as the department officials threaten them with impounding buses without any rhyme or reason. Raj Singh said he has 11 buses and usually gets orders for buses to ferry crowds to various rally venues.
