Fuck RTC Basteds Increases Bus Fares?
The Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation has hiked fares of all its bus services in the state. Citizens, who have been badly hit by the increase in the price of LPG and petrol, will now have to spend more on public transport too.
The fares of City Ordinary, Metro Express and Metro Deluxe services have been increased by Rs.2/- for the first 10 km. There upon, Rs.2/- charged will be for every stage. There is an increase of Rs.1/- for travel over 40 km in the ordinary
service. The only relief is that the minimum fares for the Pallevelugu, Express, Deluxe, Super Luxury and Garuda services in the state have not been touched.
Beyond 20 km, the minimum fares of Pallevelugu buses will go up from 46 paise to 50 paise, for the Express service from 54 paise to 62 paise, and for the Deluxe service from 60 paise to 70 paise. The Super Luxury fare will go up from 70 paise to 82 paise and the Garuda fare from Rs.1.25 paise to Rs.1.40 paise.
The Mayor, Ms Banda Karthika Chandra Reddy, made this clear during the inspection of several commercial establishments in Tarnaka and Habsiguda on Thursday.
The GHMC officials seized about 145 kg of plastic carry bags of below 40 microns from Big Bazaar in Tarnaka, causing the Mayor to say she was shocked that such a big establishment would use the banned plastic bags.
The Mayor inspected 24 big, medium and small establishments. She appreciated the efforts of small establishments that are using the recommended carry bags. She urged traders to display the price of bags at the cash counters and asked them to give incentives to customers who bring their own bags.
She inspected shopping establishments, including Venkatramireddy Sweets, Baker's World, Sri Sai Stationers, Bhagya Lakshmi Enterprises, Suguna Chicken, Sanman Hotel, Suman Medial & General Stores.
Plastic Manufacturers opposes Plastic ban in the City ?
The GHMC’s proposed ban on use of plastic carry bags in the city from July 1 h?as run into trouble with the industries department boss writing to the municipal administration win to take up the matter with the corporation. The industries principal secretary, Mr. T.S.Appa Rao, wrote to Mr. B.Sam Bob in the municipal administration department that the GHMC ban was not supported by law.
In his letter dated June 17, Mr. Appa Rao, who is also commissioner for
industrial promotion, stated that government of India has banned plastic products that are less than 40 microns thick. There are no specific orders from the High Court on banning usage of plastic and the decision of GHMC to seize industries, penalise manufacturing units from July 1 is not appropriate nor is supported by law, he said.
The AP Plastic Manufacturers Association, Hyderabad, has promised to cooperate with the government and GHMC to create awareness among the general public to use bins for disposing of plastic waste and help in segregation, said Mr. Appa Rao who incidentally served as MAUD principal secretary before being transferred recently. Also, opposition for the ban is now coming from within the GHMC elected body. The Telugu Desam floor leader in GHMC, Mr. Singireddy Srinivas Reddy, has written a letter to the Chief Minister, Mr. N.Kiran Kumar Reddy stating the decision on ban was taken by the mayor and standing committee alone and that others’ opinions should also be taken.
