Posted on: 08/Feb/2021 3:40:50 PM
As per the recent Tamil Nadu State Government Order issued by the Home Secretary, a new Transport Commissioner office would come up on the 23 grounds, 2270 square feet of land at Guindy allotted by Chennai District Collector.
In this regard, this order was released after Transport Minister MR Vijayabhaskar announced in the State Assembly last year that a new building would be constructed for the Transport Commissionerate functioning under the Transport Commissioner.
Presently, the office of the Transport Commissioner is functioning on the first floor of ‘Ezhilagam’ Main Building belonging to Commissioner of Revenue Administration.
The order mentions: “The Commissioner’s office is functioning with 131 ministerial staff and 15 officers. Various transactions such as taxation, registration, issuing of permits, licences and entire staff establishments are being performed by this office.”
In this regard, the Transport Commissioner said in the proposal sent to the Home Secretary, explained the necessity for bigger office space, that it has to accommodate the World Bank sponsored consultants with supporting staff relating to road safety activities.
The order further mentioned: “Based on the directions of the Madras High Court, a toll-free auto-rickshaw and omnibus complaints control room has already been established for receiving complaints from the public, which is functioning from a small cabin. Hence, it is necessary to set up a permanent control room with all infrastructural facilities.”
Further, it has also been proposed to establish a control room for the vehicle locating and tracking system in the Commissioner’s office and to establish automatic number plate recognition camera enforcement system control room to monitor the vehicle movement and detection of a traffic violation on the National Highways from Chengalpattu to Trichy to reduce road accidents and fatalities.
The GO directed the PWD to send the necessary proposals for financial sanction at an appropriate time after completion of the tender procedure.
