The Delhi Transport Department has directed to withdraw the DTC buses provided to the Delhi Police. This decision came in the wake of vandalism done to the buses in the ongoing farmers’ protest, sources in the Delhi government said on Thursday.
Delhi Police has 576 DTC buses
An email has been sent by the Transport department to all DTC bus depots that are on duty with Army, CRPF, and Delhi Police to return to the depot immediately. 576 DTC buses are being used by different security agencies in the Farmer agitation.
A DTC official had earlier told IANS that 45 buses were damaged by protesters on January 26, following which the department had expressed its displeasure known as the national capital was already facing a shortage of public transport buses.
“The costs of repairing damaged buses is an issue with the Transport Department and that may be the reason the DTC has decided to get its buses back from Delhi Police,” the sources said.
