Bhopal. A big and important decision has been taken regarding the transportation system in Madhya Pradesh. Now vehicles with invalid or incomplete documents will not be used for government purposes. If any company or agency wants to contract its vehicles for government works, then it will have to compulsorily submit all the valid documents. In this regard, the Transport Department has issued strict instructions for government departments, corporations and bodies.
All valid documents mandatory before contract
According to the instructions of the Transport Department, now no vehicle will be used for government purposes without valid documents. The department has clarified that in many cases, registration certificates, fitness certificates, insurance, permits, pollution control certificates of contracted vehicles are found incomplete or invalid.
In case of an accident, problems arise due to not getting insurance.
The Transport Department said that when the documents of a contracted vehicle are invalid and an accident occurs, then compensation is not received from the insurance company. Due to this, vehicle owners, agencies and government departments all have to face serious difficulties. In view of these problems, this strict order has been issued.
Documents must remain valid for the entire period of use
It will now be mandatory for government departments to ensure that all legal documents of vehicles used directly, vehicles taken through private agencies are valid before the contract and remain valid throughout the usage period.
It will be necessary to check the documents before payment.
According to the orders of the Transport Department, the government departments will have to regularly check the documents of the vehicles even before making the payment. This will ensure that rules are not violated at any level.
Keep an eye on overloading and tax payment
The Transport Department has also instructed that-
- The permit issued for transportation of minerals or other materials does not exceed the prescribed capacity of the vehicle.
- Motor vehicle tax has been paid by the contracted vehicles as per rules.
If these rules are not followed, the vehicle concerned may be removed from government work.
