By Express News ServiceTHIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Pedestrians who face difficulties due to haphazard parking of vehicles along the Kochuveli-Titanium Road for the fitness test carried out by the Motor Vehicle Department (MVD), can now heave a sigh of relief. State Human Rights Commission chairperson Justice Antony Dominic has directed MVD to reduce the trouble to road users. The commission also directed authorities to set up a vehicle testing station so that parking of vehicles, including heavy vehicles, on the road can be avoided. A report submitted by the Transport Commissioner before the rights panel admitted that the MVD does not have a place of its own for carrying out vehicle tests. The panel said it views the complaint seriously as the test is violating the fundamental rights of citizens.
