The organisation also strongly condemned the State Government and the concerned authority for their failure to properly manage the State transport system such as providing regular and adequate vehicles especially for the hill districts, providing parking for passenger vehicles at ISBT, proper regulation of fare which was promised by the State Govt during the flag off ceremony of Public Transport System, the statement added.
