Jeep rental fixed at Rs 2500 for Mandalpatti

Madikeri, Feb. 7: Jeeps plying to Mandalpatti in Madikeri and Nandimottei must collect only Rs. 2,500 as rent. Also, it has been decided that only vehicles with MT numbers from the police department should ply, said Madikeri Jeep Drivers and Owners Association President Unnikrishna.

Speaking at a press conference at the city's Patrika Bhawan, he said that the Jeep Drivers and Owners Association has taken steps to prevent this after a controversy arose over a jeep driver charging more money from tourists. A few days ago, a meeting was held with the drivers and owners to provide information. It is mandatory to collect Rs. 2500 as rent. A condition has been imposed that tourists must wait for an hour at the view point before being brought. Vehicles should go for rent in a queue. It has been clarified that only vehicles with the necessary documentation and yellow boards should be rented. 150 drivers who attended the meeting agreed to this. Also, the vehicles should be given the necessary documentation to the police department and MT numbers should be obtained. A mutually compatible service will be provided. Care will be taken to ensure that no problems arise. He warned that if it is found that additional money has been received, the concerned officials will take action.
