NEW DELHI: There is no compromise in executing law on the safety measures taken for buses, said Transport Minister Aryadan Muhammed. The government is ready to solve the problems of bus owners, the minister told reporters in New Delhi.
Aryadan said, “The private bus strike is anti-democratic and against the government. Even the organisations owing allegiance to the Left did not support it. Talks will be held with the bus owners on Wednesday. The argument of bus owners that the speed governors are ‘unscientific’ is wrong. The government will solve if there is a practical difficulty in implementing it. No vengeful act will be taken against the bus owners.”
The government had not given any assurance to the bus owners and this was conveyed to Minister K V Thomas and T N Prathapan MLA who took the initiative for the talks. There is no meaning in saying the government should bear the expenses of the maintenance work of speed governors. If the bus develops a technical snag or if its tyres get punctures, should the government bear its expenses, the minister asked?
