Rto India — Towing of vehicles by thane rto, maharashtra

Address:400601

Thane RTO has taken up drive against illegal parking of vehicles in Thane city which is appreciable, but the following things are not taken care of:

1)There are no sign boards displaying " No Parking", but still RTO tows the vehicles.

2)While lifting the vehicles, proper care is not taken. The vehicle gets damaged and even if anybody complains then the RTO staff behaves rudely. Many a times the vehicle owner has to suffer for the same.

3)Once the vehicle is towed, it is mandatory to write the name of the RTO on the road where the vehicle was standing before it was towed. But it is not written and the owner has to go on searching for the vehicle from one RTO office to another in the city.

4)Many a times vehicles parked illegally are not towed as those vehicles belong to the people who have 'hand in glove' business with the traffic department/RTO. Or the vehicles belong to some celebrity/businessmen/shop owners. But a vehicle parked with the same vehicles which does not belong to above mentioned class of people, then only that vehicle is towed. Thus discriminatory behavior on the part of RTO is observed.

5)It looks like the towing co.-a private co.- has vested interest in towing vehicles also.

1)There are no sign boards displaying " No Parking", but still RTO tows the vehicles near Highland Residency, Balkum Dhokali Road

2)While lifting the vehicles, proper care is not taken. They don’t even give warning (which is the rule) before picking up the vehicle. The vehicle gets damaged and even if anybody complains then the RTO staff behaves rudely. Many a times the vehicle owner has to suffer for the same.

3)There are lot of vehicles parked on this road during evening. These vehicles block almost half of the road. It becomes difficult to the pedistrians to walk however no action is taken on such vehicles. The towing van takes a round of the road when there is no requirement.

4)When the demand is made to take a round during pick hours to regulate traffic, they ask for written complaint as a proof.
Dear sir/madam,

I'm living in kalyan. My vehicle was caught at non parking area near bail bazar near Dmart kalyan west. When I reached Dmart I parked my vehicle in a non-parking zone, so they towed my vahicle. When I reached RTO office to free my vehicle, a non police guy asked me to pay 2500 for non PUC, insurance and parking the vehicle a non-parking zone, and he gave us an option to bribe him and take away the vehicle for 1600 then he told us to go to the Xerox shop (which was located at the opposite side of the road), and then he told me that I have go to the Xerox shop and Google pay him 1600 and he will take 100 ruppees extra, then I requested him to do it in 1000. Then I told him that I don't have that much money, and I warned him that I will complain this to the police, then he requested me to give him 400 ruppees and and I only had 330 ruppees, he emptied my entire purse and then finally gave my vehicle. I don't understand why did he charged me for insurance and PUC while my vehicle is parked. And he did not even give me a receipt, and in front of my eyes he distributed 20 and 50 ruppees among other non police officers. Please do something about this, only because of these people I and many other citizens are afraid and bribe police or non police officers. If you don't resolve this problem then I will complain to higher authority.
