Major shake-up in Gujarat RTO system; 359 inspectors transferred

The office of the Gujarat State Transport Commissioner and the Transport Department have simultaneously transferred 359 Class-3 Assistant Motor Vehicle Inspectors (AMVI) serving in RTO and ARTO offices across the state. According to a report by Sandesh, the massive transfer list was released late at night to bring administrative transparency, causing a stir among the employees of the Motor Vehicle Department.

The primary objective of this transfer process is to bring speed and efficiency to the administration. The decision follows complaints that inspectors handling critical tasks such as driving tests, vehicle fitness, checking, and fine collection in RTO offices had been stationed at the same location for years. This exercise will lead to extensive changes in the field staff of key checkpoints and internal offices across North Gujarat, Saurashtra-Kutch, as well as in Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara, Rajkot, and Bhavnagar.

All transferred officers have been strictly instructed to be relieved from their current headquarters immediately and report to their new posting locations without any delay to assume charge. As these orders have been issued amidst the festive season, a new operational setup will be established in the coming days. The Commissioner's office is directly monitoring the implementation of these transfers.

Assistant Motor Vehicle Inspectors (AMVI) have been serving in key Class-3 positions under the Motor Vehicle Department, handling responsibilities such as vehicle rule compliance and testing.
