Hon'ble Chief Minister of Goa Altinho Panaji Goa Today at 1900 hrs the "shuttle service" at KTCL Panaji Bus terminus was in utter chaos. The commuters over 130 person foreigners, Indian tourists women and men mostly office goers were stranded until 1925 waiting for the shuttle service. There were just two KTC officials in the ticket counter and they expressed helplessness over the non availability of the buses. Suddenly the Managing Director appeared on the scene and the undersigned rebuked him for this utter state of chaos. He immediately went around the newly inaugurated counter and after some talking arranged for the bus but this was sufficient only for 54 passenger @ Rs.16/- The others were left helpless. In fact most of the women and college girls informed this writer that this is a regular phenomenom and they are afraid after 1800 hrs to travel alone because they have to proceed to onward destinations into the villages. What was surprising is suddenly another two officials one in civil clothes and another in khaki uniforms surfaced. But they were not wearing their name badges. May I request you to ensure that there are buses put in place. You will agree that after nationalisation of bus transport it is KTCL that ought to provide transport and shuttle service is only for those that can afford not for the regular travellers. Please investigate into the reason for this irregularity with the Managing Director KTCL. Also ensure that a responsible officer is placed on duty until the last bus leaves. In case of women and girls care should be taken that they are given preference by out of turn tickets as a precaution and shuttle fares are not charged for such long delays.
