Summary:
We need 220 drivers to provide the transport service in an efficient and effective manner. “There is also a dearth of skilled drivers and those having the necessary skills are in high demand in the private transport service sector. In order to ensure that the losses incurred by them are reduced and so that the passengers are provided with timely service, the decision to induct 50 new drivers into the KMT has been taken. Kolhapur: The Kolhapur Municipal Transport (KMT) is going to induct 50 new drivers in order to run the transport service at full capacity and bring down losses.At present,, many of the total of 110 buses cannot operate on the roads because of the inadequate number of drivers in service to drive the buses. Several of these drivers abstain from regular work and so we have taken the decision to terminate their contracts..
