New Delhi: The Central Information Commission has directed
the Delhi Government to carry out an "urgent comprehensive" inquiry
into the issue of colour blind DTC drivers declared fit to operate buses here.
The case relates to fitness certification given to the
drivers while appointing them.
The file produced before Information Commissioner M Sridhar
Acharyulu by Delhi Transport Corporation revealed serious irregularities in
declaration of bus drivers as fit by an eye centre.
"As many as 91 out of the 99 candidates declared
medically unfit by the DTC medical board were, subsequently, declared fit by
the Guru Nanak Eye Centre. When an independent medical board was constituted by
Health Department of GNCT Delhi, all the 91 candidates were found unfit
again," Acharyulu noted in his order.
