Ministers take tough stance on road safety
Nalgonda: Transport and BC Welfare Minister Ponnam Prabhakar announced that stricter actions will be taken, including cancellation of driving licenses if accidents are caused due to negligence. He said that a Government Order (GO) will be introduced to make it mandatory for vehicles to have reflector radi-um stickers at the rear. Plans are also underway to establish driving training centers. On Saturday, along with Roads & Buildings and Cinematography Minister Komatireddy Venkat Red-dy, he laid the foundation stone for an Automated Testing Station building at Dandampalli near Nalgonda, with a cost of Rs 8 crore. Ponnam emphasised that accidents often occur due to reckless driving or lack of vehicle fitness, and that automated testing stations (ATS) will help reduce such incidents.

New rules introduced for automated testing stns
Jaipur: The Rajasthan transport department has introduced new regulations for Automated Testing Stations (ATS) to improve vehicle fitness certification. Currently, Jaipur and Kishangarh have ATS facilities, with plans to encourage private centres to upgrade. The guidelines mandate ATS to display owner and manager details, fee structures, and grievance contacts. All vehicle assessments must be documented and shared with authorities, with camera recordings stored for three months to prevent false certifications. Fitness certificates will be cancelled if issued without proper inspection. Data must be stored locally and uploaded to the Vahan portal every four hours. The process is fully online, with GPS coordinates required for transparency. In districts without ATS, fitness centres can operate from RTO offices until an ATS is established, after which private centres will be prohibited. TNN
