60% Indian police personnel do not have a driving license: SP

New Delhi, August 09, 2021 (PPI-OT):While the police personnel act as an enforcement agency for the Road Transport Authority and challan the vehicle users for all kinds of violations, 60% of the total 3,500 personnel in just one Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh, India, do not have a Driving License.

At least 10 personnel were dying in road accidents every year in the district, Superintendent of Police Fakkeerappa Kaginelli revealed. Speaking at a special Learning License Registration (LLR) mela organised at the District Police Office (Headquarters), the SP gave away LLRs to 457 personnel on Sunday in the presence of Deputy Transport Commissioner N. Sivaram Prasad.

“Let us get licenses ourselves before we challan the general public,” Mr. Fakkeerappa said. The DTC expressed happiness at the efforts being made by the SP in getting driving licenses for the police personnel. All those who got their LLRs today can take their permanent license after one month, he added.
