Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Minister for Transport and Information, Mian Iftikhar Hussain has announced that all driving licenses issued without the signature and verification of Motor Vehicle Examiners (MVEs) stand unlawful adding that action would be taken against those who have issued such licenses.
He expressed these views while presiding over a meeting of MVEs here on Thursday. Director Transport, Manzoor Khan and Deputy Secretary Muntazim Shah were also present on this occasion. Mian Iftikhar said that the task of MVEs and issuance of driving licenses has been entrusted to transport department with a noble view in order to make it transparent and easy for the transporters. He said that it would be unfortunate if the MVEs will fail to improve its performance despite of this drastic step of the government.
He stressed upon the MVEs to perform their duties with honesty and free mind and do not succumb to any pressure so that the prevailing negative impression about them could be eliminated. He told them that his government would extend all out support to them and added that no crook would be supported in this respect.
The Transport Minister announced that establishment of a latest computerised vehicle fitness testing centre has already been approved and all other parts of the province would also be given this facility with the passage of time. This system would not only help end the unfit vehicles but would also mitigate the increasing number of accidents on the road. Taking notice of the fake vehicle fitness certificates, the Minister categorically directed that all those officials who are involved in this illegal act should be brought to book and suspended immediately.
