Caretaker Chief Minister of Punjab, Mohsin Naqvi, has postponed the implementation of the increased driving license fee.
According to details, the planned fee hike was set to be implemented today. However, Chief Minister Naqvi has announced an extension until January 9, allowing people to obtain a license at the current fee.
It is pertinent to mention that the caretaker government of Punjab had decided to massively increase the driving license fee for cars and motorcycles a few weeks ago.
The fee for obtaining a driver’s license had been raised by 1566%, from Rs. 60 to Rs. 1000. Now, CM Naqvi has announced a temporary relief for the citizens.
Furthermore, the caretaker Chief Minister, Mohsin Naqvi, also virtually inaugurated 36 upgraded police stations. The new building of the Gulshan Iqbal police station in Lahore was also inaugurated.
Mohsin Naqvi inspected the new building, where he expressed satisfaction with the upgraded amenities, including carpeted counters, comfortable furniture, and uniformed staff.
Very Good👏
Police should be provided all tools/ equipments to fight against crime and facilities/ training should also be provided in best possible manner to help public swift/transparent manners.
Khidmat Markaz is doing very well. More and more work should also be assigned to Khidmat Markaz, thus reducing the work load on police stations.
It was very nice on Chief Minister part to give further time to applicants to avail old fee rates for applying/obtaining driving licences.
Definitely funds are required by govt to improve their services to provide driving licences. But at this time bulk of public is applying for licences to get them driving licences and govt is getting reasonable revenues.
More and more people should resort to legal method of driving. Any substantial rise in drive in licence fee may hamper govt effort from getting driving licences.
Once the rush is over govt should raise licence fee. Training facilities to learn driving must also be improved.
Good 👍
I need this
