The Karnataka Transport Department has implemented a geofencing-based mVahan Fitness mobile application across all 66 Regional Transport Office (RTO) offices in the State to bring transparency and curb irregularities in the issuance of Fitness Certificates (FCs) for commercial vehicles.
Minister for Transport Ramalinga Reddy said the system has been introduced to prevent malpractices that were earlier reported in the process of issuing FCs for registered commercial (transport) vehicles operating in the State. Karnataka has over 30 lakh registered commercial vehicles in operation.
