SRINAGAR: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today inaugurated the newly constructed Transport Bhawan at Bemina, Srinagar, marking a major step towards bringing all transport-related services under one roof and strengthening the office infrastructure of Transport Department in Jammu and Kashmir.
The Bhawan will serve as a central hub for transport administration and services, housing the offices of the Transport Commissioner J&K, Joint Transport Commissioner, Regional Transport Office (RTO) Kashmir, ARTOs, and other allied sections.
Bringing these offices under one roof is expected to enhance efficiency, coordination, and public service delivery.
On the occasion, the Chief Minister also launched PVC Registration Certificates—a modern initiative designed to provide durable, tamper-resistant, and convenient registration cards to vehicle owners. Replacing the traditional paper-based format, the new PVC cards will not only improve service quality but also help reduce misuse.
During the launch of PVC Registration Certificates, RTO Kashmir Qazi Irfan Rasool described the launch as an important step towards modernization and convenience of vehicle owners.
He informed that the new cards are durable, tamper-proof, pocket-sized, and equipped with QR codes, ensuring instant verification and reducing complaints with time-bound issuance.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by Minister for Transport Satish Sharma, Advisor to the Chief Minister Nasir Aslam Wani, Secretary Transport Avny Lavasa, Transport Commissioner J&K Vishesh Paul Mahajan, Regional Transport Officer Kashmir Qazi Irfan Rasool, besides senior officers and officials of the Transport Department.
After inaugurating the facility, the Chief Minister toured the building and inspected its various sections.
He interacted with officers and staff, reviewing the facilities created for both employees and the general public.
Expressing satisfaction, he said that the new bhawan would significantly streamline the functioning of the Transport Department and ensure better service delivery to citizens.
