Appointment of full-fledged secretary for STA

Drivers association serves two-week deadline to govt
SHILLONG: The All Drivers Association of Meghalaya (ADAM) has issued two-week deadline to the State Government to appoint a full-fledged secretary for the State Transport Authority besides appointing the District Transport Officer in Ri Bhoi.
ADAM chairman Sylvanus Lamare rued that people have to run from pillar to post top get their works done in the Ri Bhoi  DTO in the absence of a full-fledged DTO.
Stating that a District Magistrate has been temporarily holding the post of DTO for the last three months, the Association said that the functioning of the DTO has been severely hit by the same.
The Association lamented that the absence of a full time secretary at State Transport Authority is also causing problems for people to get their permits.
