Sorry,wrong number: we sell cakes,don’t issue licences

When this reporter tried to contact the RTO on one of the numbers put up on the website,it was an employee of the cake shop who picked the call. When contacted again,proprietor Harish Tejwani was at the other end. “On a daily basis,we get eight to ten calls that are meant for the RTO. We are tired of attending these calls. We have time and again pointed this out to the authorities,but to no use. We have to file a written complaint on this,” he said.

Apart from the cake shop,an office that belongs to Sumer Homes Private Ltd in Koregaon Park also receives such calls. Jagan Deokar,an employee,said,“Starting from morning,on an average,we receive at least three calls asking for the RTO. I don’t know how we receive such calls.”

Senior official from RTO Amar Patil said,“We launched the website about one and a half year ago. I will soon access the website,check out myself and rectify the mistake.”
