MUMBAI: RTO officials will not be able to enjoy Diwali this year as they are burdened with the workload of completing recalibrations of all e-meters in autos and taxis by November 25. An officer, who did not wish to be named, said that there is heavy workload on all officers, from inspectors to assistant/deputy RTOs.
"We are not able to take time off for lunch, snacks and are going home late in the evening. This is because we have a huge queue of autos and taxis which are coming for the test and certificates for recalibration,'' he said. The officer said that several inspectors were going out of their way to expedite the recalibration process.
"We are not taking a single moment off and our officials are busy inspecting all vehicles and testing the new e-meters,'' he stated.
A few days back, there was a record number of 829 taxis lining up at the Worli test track in a single day. More than 1,500 autos are queuing up daily for the recalibration. The officials not only inspect the meters and seal them, but also ensure that the drivers have the yellow stickers pasted on the e-meters.
The sticker mentions "Recalibrated as per the revised October tariff" and is an indicator for commuters that the meter has been tested and approved by RTO. The new e-meter will show a minimum reading (for 1.5 kms) of Rs 15 on auto meters and Rs 19 on taxi meters. Commuters will be charged for every additional 100 metres instead of 200 metres. The waiting charge is approximately Rs 1 per minute.
