The commissioner has not visited the Gwalior Transport Headquarters for five months ?
The commissioner has not visited the Gwalior Transport Headquarters for five months, and constables are providing security.
Madhya Pradesh has a Transport Headquarters in Gwalior, as well as other headquarters. The Transport Headquarters’ imposing building is also located on Hurauli Hill. Commissioner Vivek Sharma has not visited the Gwalior headquarters for the past five months, and his chamber remains empty. Furthermore, the position of Additional Commissioner at the Transport Headquarters is also vacant.
Transport Commissioner Vivek Sharma and his chamber at the headquarters were locked.- Government’s indifference towards the Transport Headquarters: If the Commissioner does not come then why will the officers work?
- The Transport Department always complains of shortage of staff for taking action.
- 15 to 17 constables have been deployed to carry the files of the Transport Commissioner.
Another surprising thing is that the 15 to 17 constables hired to transport the Transport Commissioner’s files are also being made to do night duty. Constables are deployed at the Transport Headquarters in shifts of two. This is because the Transport Headquarters does not have outsourced security guards. Consequently, these constables are being made to work even though this is not their job. These constables, attached under various pretexts, are being made to do this work, while the Transport Department constantly laments the lack of staff for field action.
It should be noted that Madhya Pradesh has other headquarters besides the Transport Headquarters in Gwalior. The Transport Headquarters’ grand building is also located on Hurauli Hill. Commissioner Vivek Sharma has not visited the Gwalior headquarters for the past five months; his chamber lies empty. Furthermore, the post of Additional Commissioner of the Transport Headquarters is also vacant. No officer has been permanently posted there since IPS Umesh Joga. Entire files for the Commissioner are sent to Bhopal. For this, not just one or two, but a whole team of constables has been deployed, which amounts to a misuse of the department’s resources and manpower.
Amazing: Constables made night duty guards
The Transport Headquarters no longer has outsourced security guards. It’s been reported that transport constables who shuttle files from the Transport Commissioner’s office between Bhopal and Gwalior are being used to fill these security gaps. Two constables are rotated at night. This is how things are managed throughout the month. In reality, whether it’s the district or divisional transport departments, the shortage of personnel is cited every time action is taken.
Arrangements from the headquarters of the name Bhopal itself
The Transport Department headquarters in Gwalior exists only in name, with everything being managed from Bhopal. When the Transport Commissioner doesn’t come, it’s obvious why his subordinates would bother working at the headquarters. People from all over the state come to the headquarters, inquire about the Commissioner, and then return. Officers and clerks reply that they are not there.
