The Transport department is gearing up to conduct a regional transport authority (RTA) meeting of the Garhwal division after three years to take decisions on various matters associated with local public transport.

The regional transport officer (administration) of Dehradun and secretary of RTA Dinesh Chandra Pathoi informed that the department will take the decision on issuing new permits for buses, auto rickshaws and Vikrams on several routes in Dehradun and Haridwar. Besides this, Dehradun RTO is also planning to commence the operation of Tata Magic on several routes that fall in the internal areas of the city.

The members of RTA will also discuss increasing the number of private buses on the Dehradun-Selaqui route besides issuing new permits for buses to Maldevta from Raipur Road and Parade Ground. The department is also considering increasing the operation of buses in the Kalsi area and from Parade Ground to the Shimla Bypass route too, informed Pathoi. Besides this, some other proposals would also be considered in the RTA meeting. The meeting has been deferred six times in the past three years due to certain reasons but now the department has started preparations for the meeting which is scheduled to be held this month, stated Pathoi.
