Himachal Transport Minister Govind Singh Thakur on Monday said the Transport department would soon provide the facility of wheel chairs at all the bus stands of the State to facilitate the specially-abled, ailing and aged passengers.
HRTC would also set up sanitary vending machines at Shimla, Mandi, Manali and Kangra bus stands to facilitate women and girl passengers.
In addition, primary health kits would also be made available at bus stands for providing first aid to the passengers in case of any emergency.
Thakur said HRTC management has been directed to clear rupees two crore arrear on account of overtime and night allowance to the drivers and conductors of the Corporation.
He said HRTC had to suffer financial losses due to erroneous decisions of the previous Government but the present Government was making all out efforts to improve the financial condition of the Corporation and a target of generating Rs 100 crore additional revenue had been fixed for this financial year.
