ITANAGAR, Apr 11:

The Itanagar Station of the Arunachal Pradesh State Transport Services (APSTS) today celebrated its achievement of meeting the Revenue Target and accordingly, felicitated some of its dedicated staffers at the State Transport Station Office complex in Ganga.

 

Leading the celebration, the Station Superintendent Tuter Dulom while announcing that the APSTS Itanagar Station has been successful in surpassing its target revenue (100.27 percent), went on to exude pride in his staffers saying, “besides surpassing the set revenue target, the station has also recorded a ‘zero’ percent in terms of accidents and related incidents.”

 

This, SS Dulom added, was the result of joint efforts and sincerity put in by the station staffers as well as their family members.

 

Meanwhile, attending the function as the chief guest, Parliamentary Secretary (Transport, Supply & Transport), Likha Saaya congratulated Dolum and his entire team, “it takes a bunch of good and dedicated people to make great achievements out of little things.”

 

Highlighting that the importance of APSTS department lies in its services to the people other than drawing revenues for the state, Saaya emphasised on continuing to render services with greater responsibilities.

“A driver is responsible for the lives of the passengers in his bus; and while that may be limited to some 40 odd individuals, if something wrong were to happened, it would have a direct bearing on the family members of the driver himself and those of the passengers thus, taking the immediate affected numbers to some more than hundreds. As such, it must be bound upon the Driver, conductor and also the mechanics to work in absolute tandem with team spirit and utmost responsibilities,” Saaya elucidated.

 

Also, stressing on drunken driving as another cause of worry, Saaya also directed the Transport Commissioner and the General Manager along with their sub-ordinates to keep a constant check on the menace.

 

Further, expressing dismay over the conditions of the transport offices including the GM’s office, which he visited sometime around the past week, Saaya made an ardent appeal on his department staffs uphold the idea of Swach Bharat Abhiyan. Here, Saaya also instructed the Commissioner and the GM to put forward proposals for overhauling the office premises and also the tools required which he assured would be taken up at the highest level.

 

Earlier, APSTS General Manger Abu Tayeng while exuding pride of the Transport Department’s performances in the last Financial Year of 2016-17, in matters of services and revenue generation, informed that the independence given to the Station Superintendents coupled with induction of 28 new buses had helped in the positive outcome. He however, went on to assert that the new policies and the new machines would have had lesser or no impact without the constant dedication and sincere efforts of its staffers.

 

Also joining in on appreciating the efforts of SS Dolum and his team along with the entire APSTS team were Transport Commissioner Bolum Siram and AAPSU president Hawa Bagang while speaking on the occasion as Guest of Honour and Special Guest, respectively.

 

Meanwhile, amidst the display of cultural items of women staffs and children of the staffs of the APSTS Itanagar Station, the occasion also saw felicitations of Tashi Dhondup Dhirkipa as Best Booking Clerk; Tania Tapok as Best Conductor; Jotin Borah as Best Driver and Vidyapati Thakur as Best Mechanic. The rewards with citations and cash were given away by chief guest Saaya.

 

It can be noted here that the Itanagar Station of APSTS under SS Tuter Dulom have been able to collect a total revenue of Rs 3,47,58,560 which is a 100.27 percent jump from their target revenue which stood at Rs 3,46,66,584.
