All Arunachal Pradesh Tour Operator Association (AAPTOA) president, John Panye, as guest of honour, said that the motto of any union, association or organization should be the welfare of its members and at the same time they should adhere to the rules.
“There have been instances of traffic violations by the members of the unions and others, but at the end of the day, the State earns a bad image that is difficult to clean. Since the capital is the face of the State, members of unions have to show the right attitude and be hospitable. There is a need for inculcating discipline and emphasizing on wearing uniform by commercial vehicle drivers like those of other states do,” he said.
Panye also advised good relationship between transport unions and the district administration and police besides abiding by traffic rules for smooth functioning of the transport system in the capital and the State as a whole.
