The Pragatisila Utkal Samaj has filed a PIL in the Orissa High Court seeking opening of a Regional Transport Office (RTO) here at the earliest.
Samaj State secretary and lawyer Saroj Ranjan Patnaik said that people of Brahmapur have to travel to the RTO office at Chhatrapur, 50 km from here, even if Brahmapur is the main city of the Ganjam district in terms of road communications and traffic.
Earlier, the Transport Department has issued a notification for opening of a RTO office here but due to problem it was not implemented.
The PIL has been filed by High Court lawyer Manas Ranjam Dhal and Samaj district president and lawyer Pradeepta Kumar Mishra on behalf of the samaj.
