Indore: Truckers and transporters in Indore, a key commercial center in Madhya Pradesh, believe that the introduction of an advanced vehicle monitoring system at checkpoints will lead to a more transparent process and improve the logistics flow. They estimate that around 4,000 commercial vehicles depart from Indore daily, with numbers increasing during festive periods.

President of the Indore Truck Operators and Transport Association, CL Mukati, has raised concerns about the lack of a proper monitoring system despite the government's efforts to replace check posts with checkpoints. He emphasized the need for a technology-driven solution to oversee vehicle movement effectively and prevent disruptions and extortion.

The association has written to Minister of Transport, Rao Uday Pratap Singh, requesting the implementation of a tech-based monitoring system for a smoother movement of commercial vehicles. Additionally, the All India Motor Transport Congress has urged the state to adopt the Gujarat model swiftly.

In July, truckers also called for the establishment of a helpline and an official app for reporting issues and complaints. The Madhya Pradesh government's decision to remove all check posts on interstate borders on July 1 has been well-received by transporters advocating for smoother transport operations and reduced corruption.
