"Today we are fulfilling our promise made with transporters. Because of corona (virus), those transporters who could not pay motor (vehicle) tax can now pay it without penalty or arrears in the next three months," Mann said in a tweet in Hindi.
"Transporters are the backbone of our economy and we stand by them in every need," Mann added.
