More than a month after TCP Minister Vijai Sardesai drove them away from the Opinion Poll Square, RTO officials have once again made their presence felt “ this time behind the Ravindra Bhavan road adjoining the Opinion Poll Square road.
Thursday noon saw RTO officials going on a challaning spree behind the Ravindra Bhavan road, taking many a motorist riding sans helmets, by surprise. Given that the RTO jeep was not visible from a distance, motorists fell into the dragnet of officials, but not before issuing a host of challans to the violators.
Motorists, however, questioned the RTO officials’ presence behind the Ravindra Bhavan road, wondering whether they are only out on the roads to enforce traffic laws than to regulate traffic. In fact, motorists pointed out that they never see the RTO officials regulating traffic in the city hit by traffic snarls.
The TCP Minister had last month warned the RTO officials not to park their vehicles along the Opinion Poll Square road, saying that he does not want obstructions in the smooth flow of traffic on the road by the presence of the RTO officials.
