Delhi govt issuing 50,000 more autorickshaw permits

Written By Unknown on Selasa, 07 Januari 2014 | 22.10

NEW DELHI: Even while the new government looks for a way out from the recent hike in CNG prices, it has given the go-ahead for applying for 50,000 new autorickshaw permits in the city.

Sources in the transport department said the Delhi government will approach the Supreme Court for another 50,000 new autorickshaw permits this month. "Transport minister Saurabh Bhardwaj has signed the order and the department is preparing the petition for the new permits. The department will issue these new autorickshaw permits in a phased manner," added the government official.

The direction to the transport department comes even as the fresh advertisement for allotment of permits under the SC/ST scheme got a good response. "The notice came out in Hindi newspapers last week and has already got several responses. Around 1,500 permits under the SC/ST scheme are being processed," said an official. Delhi government has not been able to allot 15,000 autorickshaw permits slotted in the first batch of autorickshaw permits that the Supreme Court had given permission for. The transport department is hoping that the backlog of 15,000 autorickshaw permits will be cleared by the time the Delhi government goes back to the court with its application for another 50,000 new permits.

The addition of another 50,000 new permits is expected to ease the pressure on the transport department. "The influx of more autorickshaws will automatically act as a deterrent against overcharging and refusals. It will also break the autorickshaw mafia which is operating at present," the official said.

Sources said that no decision has been taken on the issue of hiked CNG prices. The government, which had been looking at additional allotment of gas from neighbouring states, conceded on Monday that it was unlikely to happen. "Talks are on with the unions as well as the Centre. We are also looking at legal options," said a senior official.
