 "AAP government mulling action against transport firm")
The AAP government has decided to initiate action against Indo-Canadian Transport Service, a company in which Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal reportedly has a stake.
The transport department, which had recently challaned eight luxury buses of the company for permit violations, has written to the Delhi airport operator, asking why the buses were provided space within its premises.
The buses of the company ply from the airport and to Ludhiana, Amritsar, Jhalandar and Chandigarh.
He said that these luxury buses have tourist permit. To ferry passengers, the firm need stage carriage permit in the national capital.
"Under tourist permit, the operator cannot ferry passengers," the official said.
