Illegal bus stands, ad agency role to be probed
Posted on: 19/Jul/2013 11:43:14 AM
Top officials of the Chennai Corporation have asked the vigilance department and police department to begin a criminal investigation. It has been found that an ad agency has forged a council resolution and obtained a illegal electricity connection for illegal bus stands.
It has also been found that there are numerous illegal bus stands in the city. ‘The bus stands were making the city corporation richer by several lakhs of rupees as the advertiser would pay it around Rs 20,000 a month. The corporation has begun removing some of these spurious bus stands’, said an official.
However, bus commuters are the ones who get the raw end of the deal. ‘(We) cannot distinguish between a legal and an illegal bus stand, but when the corporation removes one, terming it illegal, it ought to replace it with one that is legal as a service to the people who have to wait under it’, said one commuter.
