RTOs to get wireless system for better coordination

The RTO offices in the metropolitan region see maximum number of the vehicle registrations,and are connected through telephones — both landlines and mobiles.

The system at the RTO offices would work as the police wireless works. “The entire system has been devised for better connectivity amongst the RTO officers and to reduced dependability on the other means of communication like cell phones,” Kapoor said. “In case a truck or any other vehicle tries to flee the MMR after entering without proper permit and documents,our people would be able to inform each other over the wireless sets,” he said,adding that if the vehicle manages to escape,it can be intercepted in the neighbouring satellite cities.

The wireless system would especially be beneficial to the RTO during their campaign against erring auto rickshaw and cab drivers.

Recently,the RTO at some of its centres had started computerised examination system for issuing learning driving licence,after which the licence can be procured about two hours time. It aims to finish the computerisation process across the state by March 15.
