They must go through an obligatory two-week orientation program. After completeion of this program, only then they’ll be handed their badge to operate.

Also, he highlighted the matter of the blue taxis, which will function from the Manohar International Airport at Mopa.

He also added that blue taxis have been notified. They have not delayed anything. There is a process that must be pursued rightly.
