Safari vehicles in R'bore granted 1-year extension
1 2 Jaipur: Forest department has granted a one-year extension to safari vehicles in Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve. According to the order, the field director must ensure that vehicles permitted for safaris are safe, suitable for tourism, and meet prescribed safari standards before allowing the extension. Officials said the model validity of these vehicles will expire in 2026, after which they will not be permitted for tourism operations. However, following requests from associations and the absence of practical alternatives, a temporary extension was provided. "Tourists prefer Gypsies due to their manoeuvrability and suitability for rugged terrain. With the extension, Gypsies will continue for one safari season starting Oct 1," an official said. Currently, 556 vehicles are registered for tourism at Ranthambhore, including 269 Gypsies and 287 Canters. The Ranthambhore Vehicle Safari Owners' Union earlier submitted a memorandum to the forest department seeking an extension. The challenge, however, lies in the fact that Gypsy manufacturing was discontinued in 2016. While diesel vehicles are available in the market, their higher emissions make them unsuitable for protected areas. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Officials said a petrol-based model was expected to emerge as an alternative, as petrol vehicles typically cause less pollution and are considered more compatible with eco-sensitive tourism. But no viable petrol option was developed, leaving both the department and safari operators without a substitute. Forest officials noted that a similar directive was earlier issued for replacing old Canters with newer models. Implementation was delayed due to the ongoing tourist season, but an extension was provided. With several companies offering Canters with improved technology and lower emissions, the department directed that alternatives be explored. Officials admit that unless a suitable petrol or eco-friendly vehicle is identified, both forest department and safari operators may face uncertainty when the validity of Gypsies ends in 2026.

Vehicle fitness certification on pause at Dharwad West RTO; owners forced to move to other centres
Hubballi: Dharwad West RTO is currently hobbled with a defunct vehicle fitness testing device. According to RTO officials, the machine is currently not accepting fees for issuing fitness certificates. The worst affected are owners of commercial vehicles. They are now being forced to visit Haveri, Gadag, and Dandeli RTO offices to obtain fitness certificates issued manually. The irony is certainly not lost on anyone as though the machine is out of order, RTO officials are allegedly still imposing a fine on vehicle owners who are yet to renew their vehicle fitness certificates. Babanna, a school bus driver who frequently visits Dharwad West RTO, told TOI: "Consultants and staffers (at the RTO) are saying that the govt itself has stopped allowing clearances to transport vehicles." Many have demanded that the system of issuing vehicle fitness certificates must be unified. "The govt installed inspection and certification (I and C) centres in six districts, but these are all defunct since March. According to rules, we must pay the fees online, but I and C centres are not generating receipts for the fees paid. Hence, it's difficult to get a test or an inspection report issued," some vehicle owners said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like TV providers are furious: this gadget gives you access to all channels Techno Mag Learn More Undo Making matters weorse, manual fee payment has been stopped, they said. Under the circumstances, certification agencies are advising their clients to approach smaller districts such as Gadag and Haveri to get the fitness certificates renewed for transport vehicles. Sources in NWKRTC said: "As we follow the norms of I and C centres, we are waiting for the fitness certificates of transport vehicles." Srikant Badiger, RTO, Dharwad West, said I and C centres are located in six places in the state. "These have been blocked by the Union govt. However, we have changed the procedure of issuing fitness certificates to optimise our services," he stated. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
