BHAKKAR:
The Punjab government has opened the Khidmat Markaz to facilitate driving licence applicants. Operations to obtain or renew local and international licences are already under way at the newly-established facility.
The time taken to issue licences has significantly reduced as the Driving Licence Information Management System (DLIMS) is actively preventing the creation of fraudulent documents.
A computerized system will help eradicate the mafia which produces fake licences. As per the rules, a candidate can acquire driving skills by using an initial learner’s licence, which is issued for 41 days.
Metro Bus fare likely to go up by Rs10 in Punjab
The system has been introduced to make the learner’s licence system transparent and candidates will complete his or her file with two photocopies of their CNIC, two photographs and categories on government tickets from the post office.
Once 41 days have passed, the candidate will complete his or her regular file, which includes a medical certificate, two photocopies of the CNIC, two photographs and the original learner’s licence issued earlier. The final file will be submitted to the Bhakkar licence branch office where officers will take the written and driving tests of candidates at Bhakkar Police Lines on a specified date.
Finally, the names of the candidates who pass all three tests will be announced. All the data of successful candidates from Bhakkar will be sent to Lahore Headquarters through a computer system. Within two days, all the documents of driving licence holders will be fed into the DLIMS. Successful candidates can check their names at any place and time by entering their CNIC numbers in DLIMS through a quick Google search.
Speaking to The Express Tribune, DSP Niyazi said that on one hand, the modern application system has facilitated people. On the other, it has ended fraudulent practices and the theft of driving licences.
Thanks to the latest setup, there is no way of making illegal driving licences, he claimed.
CNG price in Punjab goes up by Rs3 per kg
He added traffic police teams can immediately determine whether the licence is original or fake through DLIMS in the field.
Two driving licence candidates, Ahsan Ullah and Syed Rasool, said the Punjab government has provided all facilities under one roof through the Khidmat Markaz.
They added that people who apply for licences are now spared from the mental anguish of going through unnecessary and multiple visits to licence offices.
