Roping in private players to issue driving licences opposed
The HinduThe Tax Payers’ Association has vehemently opposed the Central government’s move to entrust the responsibility of issuing driving licences to private agencies, expressing its concern that the move will put many lives at risk. If this is the situation when the responsibility of issuing licences is in the hands of the government, one can only imagine how worse it would be if the same responsibility is entrusted to a private player.” The association members expressed concern that the move would lead to a rise in fake licences, thereby putting lives at risk. In this connection, the association wrote a letter to the Andhra Pradesh Transport Department urging it not to entrust the responsibility to private players. They reminded the government that even in countries where private players enjoy power, the issuance of driving licences is still in the hands of the government.
