Grahak Panchayat Opposes Private Bus Ban in Nagpur
Imagine the city wants to stop private buses from coming into the city center.
A group called Grahak Panchayat doesn't like this idea.
They think it's better to make the traffic rules stricter.
The city wants buses to drop off and pick up passengers outside the city, which would make people travel farther and cost more money.
The Panchayat says this is not a good solution and wants the city to focus on better traffic rules.
The Akhil Bhartiya Grahak Panchayat opposes a planned ban on private buses in Nagpur.
The city authorities are devising a policy to ban private buses from the Inner Ring Road.
The Panchayat suggests setting up pickup and drop terminals on the outskirts of the city.
The Panchayat says this would increase passenger travel distances.
The Panchayat wants strict traffic regulation instead of a ban.
