KOLKATA:

During the meeting, attended by members of the West Bengal Taxi Operators' Co-ordination Committee (AITUC), and department's principal secretary Saumitra Mohan, the minister reiterated the state government's stance on phasing out commercial vehicles, including taxis, once they reach 15 years of age, in compliance with a 2008 Calcutta High Court ruling. This ruling mandates that vehicles older than 15 years cannot ply on the city's roads.
