MySuru: The Authority of the Department of Transportation has decided to conduct an investigation into a motorbike driving school that has appeared across the office of the Regional Transportation Department (RTO East) in Rajiv Nagar.
Driving schools allegedly ran under the temporary warehouse founded on empty government land.
The RTO East (KA 55) office which functions from a rented building at Dr.
Rajkumar Road in Shaktinagar shifted to his own building in Rajivnagar at Outer Ring Road in April 2019.
The building was inaugurated in June 2017 at that time CM Siddaramaiiah.
After the RTO office began to function from a new building, several driving schools who had their offices in Mohalla bath and other places in the city were allegedly starting their business in an empty government land office by setting up a temporary warehouse.
Jana Sangrama Parishat (JSP) Vice President and Activist Prasanna has registered complaints with the Department of Transportation and District Administration of people who run driving schools.
He told the Toi, “they have not taken permission from RTO or the Department of Revenue to establish a warehouse also does not give a receipt to customers.
They have illegally occupied the government’s vacant land without permission.” He said, adding an illegal driving school must be closed because it pose a danger for motorists.
Prasana, who has filed a complaint to the Transportation Commissioner N Shivakumar along with illegal photo warehouse photos, has received a reply stating that the department will investigate this problem.
When contacted, regional transportation officers (RTO), Mysore (East Zone), Deepak, said, “I will verify complaints and take the necessary actions.”
