The transport minister of Tripura handed out a batch of newly procured uniforms to drivers of prepaid taxis and auto‑rickshaws operating from Maharaja Bir Bikram Airport in Agartala. The distribution took place at the airport terminal, where the officials gathered the drivers and presented the attire in a brief ceremony.
The move is intended to give a uniform look to the city's hired‑vehicle fleet serving airport passengers, thereby enhancing recognisability and professional image. Officials said the standardized dress code will also help commuters identify legitimate service providers more easily.
While the exact number of beneficiaries was not disclosed, the minister emphasized that the initiative is part of broader efforts to improve transport services in the state. The uniforms, featuring the state transport department’s emblem, are expected to be used by the drivers on a daily basis.
State authorities indicated that similar distribution drives may be organised at other transport hubs in the future, aiming to extend the visual consistency across Tripura’s public transport network.
