PORVORIM: Calangute MLA Michael Lobo on Tuesday demanded the Taxi meter renewal fee be reduced to ₹500.
Speaking on demands of Transport, Lobo said that the Taxi operators are hand-to-mouth people, who are traditional Goans.
“They are self-employed people who did not depend on State for employment and hence their issues have to be looked upon sympathetically,” he said.
He said after High Court order they fitted #Taximeters but now they are asked to pay ₹4600+ for renewal.
“This has come as a shocker for them. The minister has to intervene and make it something like ₹500 which is affordable for them,” he said.
