Cards scarcity hits RTO again
The scarcity of blank cards has hit the RTO again due to which driving licenses could not be printed.
A large number of applicants applying for driving licenses and registration cards at the Regional Transport Office are waiting to get their licenses for more than a month. “The shortage of cards would be resolved soon. We have informed the officials to get more blank cards and to get the work done at the earliest,” the RTO added.
