Bengaluru: Minister for Transport M Revanna said the government has decided to handover the case of alleged irregularities in acquiring Marcopolo buses for various transport corporations in the State to the Crime Investigation Department (CID).

A total of 94 buses were purchased when R. Ashok was the transport minister in the previous government. “When documents regarding the purchase of vehicles were analysed, we realised that the purchase was not done as per the norms. The case will now be probed by the CID,” the minister said.

On Less Traffic Day, he said that the second such day will be observed on March 11.

“During the last Less Traffic Day, officials were found using their own cars rather than public transport. We will initiate disciplinary action against such officials,” he said, pointing out that even elected representatives have been urged to use public transport.
