A statement issued by the RTO workers’ association reads, “In the last two years, various unfair administrative provisions have caused many service-related complications. The Motor Vehicles Department has changed the staff transfer policy and departmental exam process that is non-employee friendly. It is yet to implement the Kalaskar panel recommendations that will improve efficiency and better operations. As our demands are not met, the staff have launched an indefinite strike from September 24.”
