There is a big news for the people of Noida. People living in Noida will now have to struggle more than ever to get a driving license. They will have to go to Dadri from August 1 to get their driving licences, as the transport department has decided to stop training and testing at its Noida office. The government has given the responsibility of producing the driving license to a third party. The name of the company which has been given the responsibility of producing the driving license is Shivam (Marbles) Driving and Training Centre.
The company has prepared a unit for automatic and CCTV monitoring track before issuance of driving license. A unit of simulator and track has been prepared near Bisada in Dadri. Assistant Regional Transport Officer Siyaram Verma said that the Transport Department in Sector-33 will no longer be able to issue licenses from July 31. From August 1, people from Noida and Greater Noida will have to go to Dadri for the test and training.
7 thousand applications are received every month
Transport Officer Siyaram Verma said that private companies are being roped in to reduce the pressure of paper work and relieve the transport department. About seven thousand people apply for licenses every month. On average, about five thousand applications are improved after testing and training. The decision to set up a driving center in Dadri has created a lot of resentment among people. People say that if the government wants to build a center in Dadri, it can build it, but why closed the center in Noida?
