Depending on the feedback, the RTO said, subsidy could be extended to mini-buses too

Srinagar, Jan 20 (KF):  Regional Transport Officer (RTO) Kashmir, Shahnawaz Bukhari, clarified on Saturday that the recently introduced amnesty scheme for over 15 years old vehicles in Kashmir applies to buses only.

While briefing press, the RTO said that the subsidy scheme of Rs 5 lakh is specifically targeted at bus owners whose buses have surpassed the 15-year life span.
