Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation (RSRTC) chairman and managing director Sreya Guha has directed vigilance officials to conduct videography during inspection of buses to make it more effective and transparent.
Guha said that the decision to conduct videography has been taken to rule out any dispute arising among vigilance team and the conductors of the buses.
“Vigilance team and conductors of the buses level allegations on each other. There is no mechanism to verify their complaints. So we have directed vigilance team to record their action through videography. During inspection, tickets of the passengers have to be checked physically,” she said.
Guha said videography will bring transparency in the system and revenue collection will also improve.
“If the vigilance team finds every thing in order during inspection then the vigilance team will issue two copies of report from ETIM machine. The reports will have to be duly signed by vigilance team and the team of driver and conductor,” she said adding that vigilance team can no longer do formality by issuing one sided status report.
She said that those who violates the directions will be have to face strict disciplinary action.
