Chief Secretary R Parasuram has said that inter-State check posts in Madhya Pradesh are being equipped with modern facilities.
This will lead to increase in revenue receipts and benefit transporters also, since checking will take less time. Parasuram was inspecting integrated check post at Balasamund in Barwani district today. He said that such check posts are only in selected states. Similarly, check posts are also being constructed in the border areas of other states adjoining Madhya Pradesh. The Chief Secretary inspected 18 checking booths at the integrated check post on Agra-Bombay Road and also took stock of their functioning. He checked the functioning of the officers and elicited necessary information from them. He also visited the new guest house, general dormitory, godown, electric panel room, sulabh complex etc. It is noteworthy that check posts of Mandi Board, Transport, Mineral Resources Development, Forest and Commercial Taxes departments have been set up at the integrated check post constructed at a cost of Rs90 crore. This has reduced time taken in checking of goods in transit. Jam of vehicles also does not occur now.
