Facing a problem with Auto Drivers in Hyderabad? Call 1074

Do you know about 1074? In case the auto drivers refused to operate the digital meters even after installing them, passengers could call toll free number 1074 and lodge complaints or at the RTA offices. Do the auto drivers charge you more? Do call the number and lodge a complaint. The complaints would be taken serious and the autos would be seized if found guilty. If you can specify the auto number, that would ease the officials work to seize a particular vehicle. It seems like the auto drivers are taking revenge on us because we supported the initiative of installing the digital meters.

The same thing applies for Metered Taxis also. Did you know that you could call the toll free number 1074 in case you find a school bus flouting transport norms? According to rules, a school bus is supposed to have a qualified driver, a cleaner to assist the driver and an attender to assist the kids get in and out of the bus besides having a first aid kit. If you find sleeper coaches with two beds side by side, then also you can complain the same. Don’t hesitate to call. Every call is taken positively. Do you want your driving licence, registration certificate or any other document delivered at your doorstep? Sounds interesting, isn't it? With a view to avoiding inconvenience to those coming for various works to the Road Transport Authority (RTA) office in Hyderabad and Ranga Reddy districts, officials have come out with a novel idea of `RTA Post'. The Transport Minister, S. Santosh Reddy, launched the new facility on Friday. All you need to do is purchase a `RTA Post' envelope, which costs Rs. 10, fill in the address to which the document is to be delivered and the contact number and submit it at the RTA office. The Transport Department will undertake the delivery of the document at the given address. In case documents are lost in transit, the department will bear the cost of regeneration and re-delivery of the document. In case of delay in receipt of document, one can call on the toll-free number - 1074. "The documents will be despatched within a day of being processed," With the launch of `RTA Post', the public need not approach middlemen. All applicants coming to the office for driving licence, registration of vehicle, issue of permits (for transport vehicles) need not wait in the office after submitting the applications. "You need not visit the office again to collect the documents," the Minister said, adding that the document would be delivered through the Transport Department Employees' Mutually Aided Cooperative Credit Society.

Please don’t forget to lodge a complaint if you feel it as wrong or violating rules. If you don’t, some more people will suffer.
So as an educated citizen please do that. Together we can make a difference. Remember the number 1074. (only Hyderabad)
