Orders to register crime against agents and investigate those responsible 3-Image In this regard, the State Transport Commissioner has taken the matter seriously and has sought an explanation from the officials of Ahmedabad RTO as to how this network was being run by agents. Office? And why was he not aware of it?
Along with this, an order has also been given to register a crime against the agents seen in the video at Ranip Police Station. On the other hand, it is difficult to establish a network of agents without the local officials of the RTO. Therefore, instructions have also been given to investigate against the suspected employees.
But in 1998, this practice was permanently abolished after complaints of corruption prevailing due to the agent system. This practice has been scattered on paper for decades. But even today the agent practice is going on openly in the RTO office.
There is another office outside the RTO which issues agent licenses. But, the agent’s office runs on the advice of senior officials. In which even if someone does not have a vehicle, he is guaranteed to get a full license for just 17 thousand and if someone has a vehicle, then the license is guaranteed to be made for just seven and a half thousand. However, RTO officials claim that the practice of agents to issue license legally in RTO Ahmedabad has ended, rules have to be followed and test has to be given on the driving track. But, these rules are according to the rules of RTO. But, outside Ahmedabad RTO, there is the rule of agents. Who has the power to give license to any person. Who works as per the instructions of RTO officials.
In which an agent outside Subhash Bridge RTO office assures a person to get a license made for just seven and a half thousand. In which by taking two thousand rupees, a temporary license will be given in two days and after that a permanent license will be given in one and a half months. For this, one has to sit on the steering wheel of the car. This license will be made in Vastral or other RTO. When this agent assures the wife of that person that even though he does not have a vehicle, he will get a driving license for just 17 thousand for any test. A female agent was also seen there with this agent. In this way, the claim of there being no agent practice in RTO has failed once again.
Gathering of agents in RTO office
Sources have told that currently 200 agents are working in Jamnagar RTO office. The surprising thing is that if a person works as an agent of RTO, then no one is asked. That is, agents do not have any kind of criteria.
Due to the shortage of staff in RTO, agents have got a free hand. The surprising thing is that nowadays people complain that important work like vehicle passing, TRAI, chassis number etc. are being done by the agent’s men instead of RTO employees.
Many times the help of the agent has to be taken
Many vehicle owners and applicants come directly to the RTO office for operation. But without an agent in the office, the applicant does not ask for any price. No work. (Google translation from Gujarati)
