News ‘RTOs’ loots are bigger than that of Chambal dacoits: Nitin Gadkari

[Deepu]

Road transport minister Nitin Gadkari on Thursday termed the regional transport offices (RTOs) as the most corrupt and said that they indulge in loots bigger than those by dacoits of Chambal. He also said that RTO officials have provoked ministers in states to oppose the Road Transport and Safety Bill that his ministry has drafted.

Gadkari, who had publicly announced to "close the shop" of RTOs and the practice of "Lakshmi Darshan" (slang for bribe) at a public function in Mumbai in August, once again reiterated that the enactment of the proposed Road Transport and Safety Bill will reform the entire sector and weed out corruption in the RTOs.

He looks to be at the receiving end hence he made this statement I guess.

Why don't he increase the salary of these struggling poor traffic employees who have to spend their entire life in dust, pollution and heat.

 

[scorpionking76]

If he increase the salary by 100%, then will these guys stop demanding bribe?

 

[IndianMascot]

Yes. May be. They might stop it I'm due course of time.

 

[scorpionking76]

I don't think so, all these plum posts will not come in free. They will have to pay heavily to get these posts. This raj will continue

This can be controlled only if everyone in India starts obeying traffic rules. Then they won't be able to earn anything in black.

Bro rto ka kaam traffic rules disobey ka nahi hai. There role mostly is registrations, renew of commercial license and driving license.

 

[IndianMascot]

Oh Yes, i forgot about these things and these can be easily controlled.

I still don't understand why an agent is required for a successful driving license.

People born in last 15yrs will probably have all their documents in order but older people sometimes are missing some. Moreover people do not want to stand in queue and some fail in the written test
