Deputy Chief Minister inaugurates
ARTO Camp Office at Nowshera
JAMMU, FEBRUARY
07: In a significant step towards
improving transport related services in border areas, Deputy Chief Minister,
Surinder Kumar Choudhary, today inaugurated the Assistant Regional Transport
Officer (ARTO) Camp Office at Nowshera.
The initiative aims
to provide doorstep services to the people of Nowshera and Sunderbani, who
previously had to travel over 80 km to Rajouri for essential transport
services.
To ensure efficient
service delivery, the newly established camp office will conduct vehicle
inspections on every Monday besides Driving trial tests on every Saturday.
This move is
expected to greatly benefit the residents, particularly those living near the
Line of Control (LoC), by saving time, effort and travel expenses. The public
has widely appreciated this initiative, hailing it as a landmark decision by
the government to enhance accessibility to transport services in remote areas.
Speaking on the
occasion, the Dy CM emphasized the government's commitment towards
decentralizing essential services for welfare of the people. He highlighted
that the ARTO Camp Office at Nowshera is a step towards ensuring ease of access
to transport-related facilities, reducing hardships faced by the local
population.
Local residents and
representatives expressed their gratitude to the administration for this
much-needed facility, which will streamline licensing and vehicle registration
services while enhancing road safety compliance in the region.
