Vikram operators conduct Yagya

  • 28/06/2003

The Vikram operators of Doon, claiming to be undergoing harassment, conducted a 'Budhi-Shudhi Yagya' in front of the Vidhan Sabha for putting an end to the rampant corruption prevalent in Uttaranchal state. Members of the Vikram Tempo Mahasangh, present, also shouted anti-government slogans on the occasion and conducted a dharna at the spot. They later presented a memorandum addressed to the Chief Minister to his Personal Secretary. Despite the fact that the vikram owners had complied with the orders of the RTO on fitting pollution control instruments on their vehicles, the Department was still putting pressure on the vikram owners to replace their old vikrams. This, despite the fact, claimed vikram owners, that pollution had come down to zero levels.
