New Delhi, December 14: Delhi government today imposed a hefty fine of Rs four crore on Tata Motors for “not properly” maintaining its low-floor buses in the city even as BJP created stormy scenes in the Assembly slamming it for six incidents of these vehicles catching fire in a span of just three weeks.
As part of punitive measures, the government has also decided to withhold a payment of Rs 150 crore to the Tatas for supplying 390 buses and warned of legal action if corrective steps were not taken by the automobile giant.
Under attack for the mishaps, Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit said the government had “strongly warned” the Tata officials to ensure that such incidents do not happen in future.
