The recalibration of electronic meters has exposed the discrepancies in the record maintainence system of the Regional Transport offices (RTOs) across the state. After the September 30 deadline for recalibrating the e-meters to the revised fares, it was found that nearly 6,000 black-and-yellow taxis were yet to be recalibrated.
