Maharashtra government extends deadline for fitting safety devices in public transport

The transport commissioner’s office of Maharashtra has deferred the plan to make vehicle tracking system (VTS) and panic buttons in public transport vehicles like taxis and buses registered in the state mandatory.
The transport commissioner’s office requested the state to extend the deadline for the implementation of the safety devices to 2019-end, as the necessary infrastructure to track the vehicles is not ready and a service provider has not been appointed yet.
On July 15, all regional transport offices (RTO) were directed not to insist on these security gadgets on old public transport vehicles at the time of renewal of their fitness certificate.
