Lorry Owners Thank CM KCR.

The state vice president of the Lorry Owners Association said the KCR government had given huge relief to commercial motorists by withdrawing the provision of collecting a penalty of Rs 50 for vehicle fitness violations.

The lorry owners association performed a milk bath to Chief Minister KCR's portrait at ShadnagarChowrasta.

In an interview, Syed Sadiq said that the withdrawal of the provision of collecting a penalty of Rs 50 against vehicle fitness would provide relief to around three lakh vehicle owners. Some motorists are not renewing their fitness and using vehicles whose fitness has expired. The transport authorities are taking action against such people, so motorists are coming to RTA offices for fitness renewal, but they are being charged a fine of Rs. 50 per day, and people expressed concern that the late fee would reach thousands of rupees. Renewal fees are collected for vehicles not fit for two or three years, and for some vehicles the penalty is more than one lakh rupees.

Due to financial difficulties during the Covid, the Center has provided exemption from the penalty from February 2020 to October 2021, the state government has issued an order on Wednesday giving complete exemption from the penalty of Rs.50 per day.

He said that it is a great thing that CM KCR focused on the crisis in the transport sector and accepted the requests of the Lorry Owners Association.
