Vehicle Fares for Election Work Paid at Old Rates in Ahmedabad

Ahmedabad, તા.10: In the upcoming local body elections and government programs in the state, the increase in vehicle fares will be paid as per the old rates. Preparations have been intensified by the administration for the elections. Ahmedabad District Collector and Regional Transport Office (RTO) have fixed the fare hike rates for private vehicles engaged in election work. However, it is surprising that this time the vehicle owners have not been given any kind of fare hike benefit. According to the rates fixed during the 2022 assembly elections, the current rate is કરાશે.ઉલ્‍લેખનીય. In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, which were held about 14 months after the 2022 assembly elections, the daily fare of vehicles was increased marginally up to રૂ.700. Vehicle owners were hoping that the increase would be maintained in the local body elections or a new revision would be made keeping inflation in mind. However, the system set aside the Lok Sabha rates and the old rates that are fixed during the 2022 elections.
