The Kozhikode district committee of the Contract Carriage Operators Association, an organisation representing tourist vehicle operators, has sought more time to comply with the uniform colour code norm.
Members of the association will stage a sit-in outside the zonal office of the Motor Vehicles Department (MVD) at the Kozhikode collectorate on Thursday in support of their various demands, president M. Rafeeq and secretary K.P. Sreesanth told the media on Wednesday.
They alleged that MVD officials were found to have been randomly inspecting vehicles after the Vadakkenchery accident and imposing fines on operators. They admitted that some operators might have flouted rules. But punishing all of them will not solve the problem.
