Mr Arfeen said some taxis were driven by minor children and traffic police imposed fines of around Rs4 to 5 lacs rupees per month. Anwar Memon of the excise police said issuance of fitness certificate was responsibility of the vehicle inspectors as his department was only responsible for checking taxes of vehicles.

During the meeting members also accused the union council Nazims of corruption. Ayaz Arain on the pointation of Anwar Chundrigar said after the decision of TCC to appoint a UC Naib Nazim as in charge health and sanitation affairs, it had irritated some Nazims, who were allegedly involved in corruption.
