Staff shortage in Mangaluru city RTO

Published On : 18 Jun 2018   |  Reported By : canaranews network


Mangaluru: At least 8 inspectors of motor vehicles (IMVs) are required to look after the issue of driving licences at the Mangaluru Regional Transport Office (RTO) and now only two have been handling the work. Over all just 32 personnel work in the office, which has a sanctioned strength of 98, said Senior Motor Vehicle Inspector and in-charge Assistant Regional Transport Officer (ARTO) John Misquith.

Answering a question during the Janaspandana programme at the RTO about officials not carrying out vehicle checking exercise, Misquith said unlike the police there were not enough personnel in his office to do the work. “Of the 10 senior IMVs posts, two are vacant. With me holding the charge of Senior RTO and also of post ARTO, it leaves only seven senior vehicle inspectors in the field,” he said.

“This is the situation of not only of Mangaluru but also in other RTOs in the State. Government has initiated the process of filling vacant posts,” he said.
