"In case of mechanical meters, the taxi drivers have decided to dump them and replace them with the new e-meters. This process will take some time and the deadline has been extended to January 31. We will not take action against such drivers and allow them to ply vehicles on the road," said Tardeo's regional transport officer, M B Jadhav. "But in taxis fitted with e-meters, if the devices are not recalibrated, the cabs will not be allowed to ply on the road," he warned.
The Tardeo RTO has already begun a drive against such cabbies and booked 50 drivers till last weekend.
It plans to book more cabbies before December 15. "Our flying squads will conduct surprise checks from Monday and nab drivers who are still plying without recalibrating e-meters," he said, adding that there were around 2,500 such taxis in the island city. "We will not allow them to conduct business," he warned.
This move has come as a surprise to the taxi unions, who plan to oppose it. "This kind of action is uncalled for," said taxi union leader A L Quadros. "The state government has extended the deadline to recalibrate e-meters till December 15. We are certain that all the 2,500 taxis in island city will have the recalibrated e-meters by next Sunday. Our drivers should be allowed to ply on the road and earn money. The RTO cannot stop them from conducting business," he stated.
Jadhav said that the RTO was firm on its decision and planned to fine cabbies Rs 600 for plying without recalibrating e-meters. But those with mechanical meters will be spared, he added.
