Govt makes badge, 15-yr domicile, police clearance mandatory for taxi operators

The directorate of transport has made mandatory having taxi badges, 15 years domicile and police clearance for all the taxi operators in the state.
Mauvin Godinho said that “by making the taxi badge, 15 years domicile and police clearance norm mandatory, a step in the right direction has been taken to protect Goa and Goenkarpon.
He said that the state government superseded/withdrew the earlier circular/ judgment of the Supreme Court.
The consequence of issuing a new circular will be that Goans will remain in the taxi business, he said.
All taxi operators compulsorily need to apply for a badge, 15-year domicile and also for the police clearance wherein the transport authorities will give sufficient time to get the formalities done,” he maintained.
