The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) yesterday staged an agitation against the Regional Transport Office (RTO) alleging that its officials were accepting bribes from heavy vehicle owners to allow them ply overloaded trucks in the city.
Representatives of the party even discussed the issue with senior officials of the RTO and demanded strict action against the corrupt inspectors.

According to MNS, a heavy vehicle can carry weight up to 10 tonnes. However, the party alleges that several trucks ply with loads that are four times the permissible limit.
