The All Goa Senior Citizens Federation has knocked the doors of Chief Minister Pramod Sawant for justice, claiming that cards issued by the Federation for concession are not accepted by the Kadamba Bus Transport Corporation.
In fact, the Federation observed with concern that the Kadamba Bus Transport Corporation has issued a circular, prohibiting the acceptance of its identity card for issue of ticket with concession within the State of Goa. “The cards were accepted by KTC bus for more than 15 years but now it is disappointing to see the notice put up by KTC at every bus stand in Goa stating that the identity cards issued only by Directorate of Social Welfare and Unique Disability Identity Card issued by Government of India will be accepted,” lamented Federation president Diogo M Da Costa.
The Federation has made a fervent plea to the Chief Minister to direct the KTC to accept cards of All Goa Senior Citizens Federation, which is an NGO duly recognised by the government.
