LTA to revoke PSV permit of any taxi, minibus or bus that violate Lautoka lockdown area

The Land Transport Authority says it will revoke the Public Service Vehicle Permit of any taxi, minibus, bus operator who conspires to assist a person to break or frustrate the Lautoka lockdown area.

CEO Samuel Simpson says if any PSV operator is approached by any individual who seeks to attempt to breach the cordon then this matter must be reported immediately to the Fiji Police Force who will take appropriate action.

This statement by the LTA comes after a taxi driver allegedly violated the Lautoka confined area.

Police say the taxi driver from Tuvu in Lautoka allegedly used his taxi to transport the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Fiji based in Lautoka to the Nadi Airport last Saturday through Kings Highway.

Investigations by Police are continuing concerning this latest incident as a fixer allegedly arranged this and a Personal Assistant was allegedly involved.
