Nayan GoenkaWe know it for a fact, that RTO rules are ignored completely in smaller towns and places. Metros have a regular monitoring on major squares and places so they are under control. And there is no way we can be more strict in smaller places. Main reasons: Even the RTO people there are not concerned. People don't really have much of a choice there.
