Practice of issuing driving licence ‘in six minutes’ won’t be entertained, says Kerala Transport Minister

The practice of issuing driving licences to a candidate ‘in just six minutes’ by Motor Vehicles department (MVD) officials cannot be entertained any more, said Kerala Transport Minister K.B. Ganesh Kumar on March 7 (Thursday).

Issuing a driver’s licence to a candidate ‘in six minutes’ cannot count for eligibility to drive a vehicle, and it can potentially kill someone on the road, the Minister said.

He made the remarks in the wake of the controversy over restricting the number of candidates appearing for driving licence test in a day to 50 from the current 180.
