DIMTS — smoking by bus drivers

Address:

New Delhi, Delhi, 110065

Sir, i travel every day to work and take dtc or cluster buses to travel in delhi. Since about last six months, i have observed many cluster bus drivers resort to smoking while driving. This is rampant when bus is caught in a jam or at a red light. These drivers light up biris and smoke even if the bus is crowded. Some how this practice seems to be restyricted to drivers only and has not yet percolated to conductors as yet. I request you to kindly issue general warning / guidelines to all bus drivers and conductors not to indulge in smoking when they are working (Driving or issuing tickets, etc). Thank you.
