Bali’s midnight swoop
Transport minister GS Bali is known for his swift working style. In a midnight swoop recently, the 62-yearold minister clamped down on illegal luxury coaches plying between Delhi and Dharamshala. Over half-a-dozen private Volvo buses were impounded even as some others managed to flee taking the interior link roads after they got to know about the surprise check. A few others tried to trick the minister. While checking for goods being ferried in a bus without paying the state tax, Bali, to his utter surprise, found the vehicle owner hiding in the boot.
