Minister for Agricultural Production, Rural Development Department and Panchayat Raj, Javed Ahmad Dar was also present on the occasion.
Reiterating the commitment of Omar Abdullah led government towards ensuring ease of business, the Minister directed the department to come up with a proposal to reduce the permit fees to the extent of 50% i.e. Rs 75000 instead of Rs 150000 to encourage unemployed youth to earn their livelihood.
The Minister instructed to organise monthly medical checkup of drivers of commercial vehicles to keep a check on their fitness for operating their vehicles.

He emphasised speedy completion of IDTR Project to ensure proper testing of skill tests of driving license applicants.
The Transport Commissioner was directed to increase the presence of RTO /ARTO in the field to check the menace of overloading and over speeding to avoid road accidents.
Regarding the issue of non availability of parking slots in the Municipal areas of Jammu/Srinagar for commercial light vehicles, it was decided to take up the matter with the Housing and Urban Development Department (HUDD) to avoid traffic congestion in city areas.
The Transport Minister stressed the need for adopting and incorporating innovative ideas for further improving and streamlining functioning of the Transport Department.
