Preparation and publication of proposal regarding road transport service
of a State transport undertaking.
Where any
State Government is of opinion that for the purpose of providing an
efficient, adequate, economical and properly co-ordinated road
transport service, it is necessary in the public interest that road
transport services in general or any particular class of such service in
relation to any area or route or portion thereof should be run and operated by
the State transport undertaking, whether to the exclusion, complete or
partial, of other persons or otherwise, the State Government may
formulate a proposal regarding a scheme giving particulars of the nature
of the services proposed to be rendered, the area or route proposed to be
covered and other relevant particulars respecting thereto and shall publish
such proposal in the Official Gazette of the State formulating such
proposal and in not less than one newspaper in the regional language
circulating in the area or route proposed to be covered by such scheme
and also in such other manner as the State Government formulating such proposal
deem fit.
