ISLAMABAD:

The motorists plying their vehicles on the federal capital’s roads with expired driving licences were at their wits' end after the Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) have once again closed licence branch due the coronavirus uptick.

They urged the ITP to start an online mechanism for the renewal of driving licences as various public and private sectors departments had already adopted digitization to provide services to its clientele through online system.

Amir Khichi, a resident of G-13, said the traffic department should develop an application like the 'city Islamabad app' for providing services to the citizens at their door steps.

He said the complete elimination of coronavirus was not in sight so far, so the e-governance model had become indispensable in such situation.
