Mauvin asks to shut down new taxi counter at Dabolim airport

A new car rental service counter has come up at the Dabolim International Airport. No permission has been obtained from the Transport Department or from any agency to commission the taxi counter.

This has obviously created heartburns among local taxi operators. Local MLA has asked the airport director to shut the taxi counter.

  Minister for Panchayats Mauvin Godinho on Wednesday said that he had discussed the matter pertaining to the opening of a new car rental service counter with the Minister for Transport Ramakrishna Dhavalikar. Mauvin said that the Transport Minister has claimed that no permission has been obtained or issued from the Transport Department to start the taxi counter.
