Summary:
“That the Muvattupuzha RTO is the only RTO in the district that functions on the ground floor makes it accessible to the differently abled. The medical board for issuing certificates to the differently abled is at present conducted only at the Ernakulam General Hospital, and it is usually very hectic. “Besides, the differently abled have to undertake a medical test to secure certificates to the effect that they are fit for driving. Incidentally, a block office building near the Muvattupuzha RTO has been found spacious enough to be developed for conducting the medical board, medical camp, and the learner’s test. A combination of these factors often delays the issue of licence, preventing the differently abled from using the specially altered vehicles provided to them under various schemes,” said Muvattupuzha tahsildar Regi P.
