Punjab has made a new national record by issuing more than two million driving licences in just 18 days. This achievement was made under the instructions of the provincial government to improve public services and make the licensing process easier for citizens.
Officials confirmed that different types of licences were issued during this period, including learning licences, regular driving licences, renewal licences, and international driving licences. These licences were provided through government service centres as well as an online portal, allowing people to apply without unnecessary delays.
A major highlight of this initiative was the home-based licensing system. More than one million people used this facility, which allowed licences to be delivered directly to their homes. This system saved time, reduced long queues at centres, and made the process more convenient, especially for elderly citizens and working individuals.
Authorities said that the improved and faster licensing system is playing an important role in promoting road safety across Punjab. By ensuring that more drivers have valid licences, the government aims to reduce traffic violations and road accidents in the province.
Citizens have been strongly advised to always carry a valid physical driving licence or an official e-driving licence while driving. The public has also been encouraged to follow traffic rules and use legal channels for licence applications.
