The union reaffirmed its commitment to the principle of "one government, one tax" and unanimously resolved to adhere to this policy for greater clarity and compliance.
Following a suggestion from Solevi Metha, Deputy Superintendent of Police, Kohima (Traffic), and guest speaker at the conference, the union resolved to grant fare exemption to all uniformed traffic police personnel on duty. This gesture, it said, honours their service in ensuring road safety and managing city traffic under challenging conditions, including the latent function of easing the traffic.
The union will continue the 50% fare concession for students wearing school uniforms and travelling during class hours. “This initiative supports education by making travel affordable for students across socio-economic backgrounds,” it was maintained.
It was resolved that all buses registered under the union are required to undergo annual renewal for 2025–2026 from August 1 to 12, between 10 am and 2 pm at the union office.
Also, bus owners and drivers must submit a photocopy of the bus permits, a valid driving licence, and two passport-sized photos for driver identity cards.
All resolutions adopted during the conference will be implemented with immediate effect where applicable and reviewed periodically to assess impact and improvements.
