The North Goa Tourist Taxi Association (NGTTA) said the State government’s belated decision on digital meter was nothing but an election stunt and it has given no relief to them.
“We have been pleading for relief for the last three years but this government only stonewalled us. Now, because of the elections, they have come out with these decisions,” said NGTTA President Vassudev Arlekar.
He said most of the taxi operators had no money and for more than a year tourism was as good as dead in Goa.
“Nobody is concerned about us. These politicians have no love for Goa. They are only concerned about themselves,” he said.
He said the only politician who understood the pain of taxi operators was former CM late Manohar Parrikar.
