Talking to Northeast Now, District Transport Officer Kumar Sanjiv Krishna on Thursday has attributed this rare achievement to the coordinated efforts of all his fellow officers and staff including motor vehicle Inspector and the enforcement officials.
“This is the outcome of the coordinated efforts and hard work of my subordinate officers and staff. I am only to supervise, monitor and support. We are not going to leave any opportunity of revenue earning and with the cooperation of this team I am confident of carrying forward this achievement for near future,” shared DTO Krishna.
This rewarding jump in the revenue collection could be witnessed as the department adopted some new strategies of revenue earning at the same time maintaining an uncompromising spirit against perpetrators of the traffic rules soon after Kumar Sanjiv Krishna took over charge as the new District Transport Officer (DTO) in the fag end of the month of February.
