Five-time MLA Bharmagouda (Raju) Alagouda Kage, who assumed office as chairman of North Western Karnataka Road Transport Corporation (NWKRTC) in Hubballi on Friday has said that he would make all efforts to get the required grants and pending dues from the State government.
At his maiden press conference after assuming office, Mr. Kage said that he would make an honest effort to put NWKRTC on the right track with the cooperation of all the stakeholders and with assistance from the government.
Mr. Kage said that he was in the process of getting to know the functioning of the state road transport corporation and would try to take requisite steps to reduce the loss and revive the corporation. “I have just taken charge, I will try to find out if there are any loopholes or pilferage of revenue. I will try to utilise my rapport with Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to get additional funds to meet various demands of the workers including the pending wage revision,” he said.
