Subject: Illegal New Fleet Taxi Service by Meru Cabs “MERU PLUS” & corrupt practice of your RTO’s in Mumbai & Thane.

Sir,

With reference to the above mentioned subject matter, you all the RTO’s are well aware about the illegal local operation of Meru Cabs on the name of MERU PLUS and their application for approval is pending with your office even then they had started the service and your corrupt officials of all the RTO’s are knows this facts and neglected the same willfully and deliberately.

You’re few officers and your all the RTO’s are not ready to obey the guidelines and circulars issued by your good self time to time as well as Hon’ble High Orders, and you know very well.

Your most of staff at all the RTO’s are coming late and left office early every day and your office knows very well. It is pertinent to note that your RTO and Dy.RTO himself coming late every day with only one reason “Sahib Mantralya ya TC office main meeting ke leye geye hai” When your officer are not coming on time then how they ask their staff????

Your office is not ready to put biometric attendance system willfully and deliberately.

You may review the guidelines, circulars, issued to your all the RTO’s as under along with Hon’ble High court orders in the interest of Transport Department as well as Public at large:

1.    Guidelines issued by your office in relation to return the taxi permits, who’s (FTS) license was cancelled by the STA?

2.    Circular issued by your office in the year 2007 for issue the trade certificate license to the money lenders?

3.    Non action against fleet taxi companies, who has not fulfill the conditions of the FTS 2006 till date by your office or the RTO’s?  

4.    No report has been submitted till date by the RTO Andheri West, Mumbai on your letter in respect of  two color are used by one fleet company Mega cabs and other  Arya Cabs for non fulfill the conditions of the provisions of the FTS scheme 2006.

5.    We had given the offer to your office that we are ready to provide the free electronic fare meter to all the Auto Rickshaw and ready to provide the call center facilities as per your RADIO AUTO RICKSHAW SCHEME which is pending since 2010 for approval of STA till date. It is pertinent to note that on the one hand your office had made FTS/CTS & PFTS in days and approved by the STA in days but Radio Auto Rickshaw Scheme -2010 is pending before the STA for approval. Your office are fail to reply or acknowledge of our offer/letter.

6.     Would also like to draw your attention that your few RTO’s or Dy. RTO’s or ARTO’s and other staff are holding posts in the MMRTA region   RTO offices  or at the most Thane, Navi Mumbai, Kalyan or Pen RTO and they are acting as transport mafia. It is pertinent to note that end numbers of scams were disclosed by the ACB time to time but nothing is happen all the officers responsible are in tact at their post like Dy. RTO Central Mr. Jeevan Bansod and Sailesh Meshram Dy. RTO Western, Andheri, Mumbai. It is very shameful for the State Transport Department.

Under the above mentioned facts and circumstances, the undersign is ready to provide the documentary proof against your most of the officers for corruption if you are ready to initiate, immediate proceeding against them. 

We also request you to please direct your field staff to take immediate action against the MERU PLUS or CLASSIC service for their illegal activities as the taximen at large are against the acts of the MERU and your office, failing which we have no option but we have to approach the Hon’ble High Court of Bombay  in the way of public interest litigation  at your entirely risk and cost, which you please note.

Thanking you,

Faithfully yours,

For Mumbai Taximen Sangathan
