Driving License: From March, to get a driving license in all the districts of Bihar, one will have to give a test on the testing track. Currently, this facility is available in Patna, Aurangabad. In this, the test has to be given under the surveillance of the camera.
According to the Transport Department, tracks are to be built in a total of 36 districts of the state, out of which tracks are almost ready in 26 districts. The plan is under process in the remaining 10 districts. Funds have been made available to speed up the construction work in these districts. The target has been given to complete the work by March in these districts.
After the testing track is built, there will be transparency in making driving licenses. All applicants will have to give the test online and then under the surveillance of CCTV cameras. Only those who know the traffic rules and know how to drive will be able to get a driving license.
In the departmental review, it has come to light that in the districts where this system is not in place, licenses are being made without testing with the help of agents. Due to this, the construction of the testing track has been asked to be completed quickly.
