The government of Punjab has launched a helpline for applicants who have not received their driving licence.
The applicants who have completed the process of obtaining a driving licence but have not yet received their licence card can now contact the helpline provided by the City Traffic Police Lahore.
The new facility is intended to help people check the status of their applications and lodge complaints about delays in the delivery of their driving licences.
Applicants waiting for their licence cards can contact the City Traffic Police Lahore on 0322-5638888 or 0325-5638888 for information and assistance.
Traffic police officials said the helpline would allow applicants to raise issues related to undelivered driving licences and seek updates on their applications.
The facility comes as authorities seek to address concerns from applicants who have completed the required procedures but are still waiting for their physical licence cards.
Applicants can use the two numbers to obtain information about their licence delivery or report problems related to delays.
The traffic police have urged people facing such issues to contact the helpline for assistance.
Sindh announces new driving licence rule
Sindh Transport Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon has said women must have a permanent driving licence and pass a driving test to receive an electric scooter under the provincial government’s scheme.
Speaking to the media, Memon said women with only learner licences would not qualify for the scheme.
He said more than 50,000 women had now applied for driving licences. He added that only 154 women across Sindh had licences when the electric scooter scheme was launched.
Memon said the Sindh government would provide electric scooters if 50,000 women qualified for them.
However, he stressed that the scooters would only be given to women who had a permanent licence and had passed the driving test.
Memon warned that action would be taken if the scooters were used against the scheme’s rules.
He said complaints had been received that some women had changed the colour of their scooters so that men could use them.
He said surprise checks would be carried out. The scooters would be taken back if men were found riding them.
