In pursuance of this, the Transport Commissioner has stated that works such as issue of Driving Licences, Registration Certificates, Fitness certificates, permits, transfer of permits, International Driving Licences, clearance certificates, No objection certificates, Replacement of vehicles, alteration in vehicles and collection of Motor Vehicles Taxes and Fees etc, are being carried out in the Regional Transport Offices. He has also stated that though no norms have been prescribed for bifurcation and creation of Regional Transport Offices, bifurcation is being done on the basis of the number of transport vehicles and the distance from one Regional Transport Office to the other. If the number of transport vehicles in a Regional Transport Office is more than 10,000, then bifurcation and creation of new Regional Transport Office will be done in the interest of the public. The Regional Transport Office Meenambakkam is in similar category and bifurcation of the existing office is essential. 3. He has further stated that at present there are 27650 transport vehicles and 769850 non-transport vehicles in the jurisdiction of the Regional Transport Office, Meenambakkam. The number of driving licences issued in the Regional Transport Office, Meenambakkam as on 31.3.2013 is 50,816 and the number of vehicles 2 registered during the same period is 37,352. Considering the increase in the vehicular strength and the licences issued, the bifurcation of existing Regional Transport Office, Meenambakkam and formation of a new Regional Transport Office at Kundrathur is highly indispensable.
