A section of Motor Vehicles department (MVD) officials are trying to scuttle online systems meant to offer services fast without the involvement of agents, Minister for Transport Antony Raju has said.
E-governance will be rolled out as scheduled, to lessen procedural hassles and root out corruption. Unscrupulous officials who attempt to derail it will be shown their place. Members of the public have the ‘right to service’, and officials, for whose salary a bulk of revenue is spent, must do justice to their duty. Sadly, some officials prefer to be rude and adopt delaying tactics, he said. The Minister was inaugurating the 54th State meeting of Kerala MVD Gazetted Officers’ Association here on Saturday.
