The RTO website has a facility to allow booking of slots in advance and register for service required after online payment. I booked a 1:50 p.m. to 2 p.m. slot for driving licence. But the clerk at the counter said the system was closed from the department’s end at 1:55 p.m. and no more forms could be accepted. As a result, many were turned back. When slot is given for 10 minutes, it’s the responsibility of the department to see to it that forms are accepted. Plus, asking for additional forms is nothing short of harassment. Let’s hope the Transport department sets up a user-friendly interface for its users with courteous staff at its counters.

Compensatory plantation is prescribed essentially to avoid felling of trees by institutions and individuals as an environment protection act. Non-availabilty of full and authentic data in the State capital itselfreflects the casual attitude of officials concerned. The Chief Minister should look into this since there is every danger of well-intended greenery plans becoming a source of corruption.
