Calcutta HC has directed the state to reconsider the decision on phasing out 15-year-old buses
Bus operators in the city are heaving a sigh of relief after the Calcutta High Court directed the state to reconsider the age limit for phasing out of private and minibuses.
The bus operators have welcomed the Calcutta High Court direction that came against the backdrop of a petition filed by the owners of route 24.
The court is said to have directed the principal secretary of the state transport department to reconsider the age of 15-year phasing out of buses.
The private bus operators are considering the court direction as oxygen to their crippling industry that they claimed to be 'on the verge of collapsing'.
