Licence seekers suffer due to vacant post of traffic DSP
From Syed Muhammad Zamir
HAFIZABAD: People have been facing several problems in obtaining driving licenses as the post of the traffic DSP has been lying vacant for the last four months in the district, The News observed here.
Traffic DSP Anjum Saqib was transferred from Hafizabad about four months ago and Mandi Bahauddin DSP Muhammad Naeem Cheema was given the additional charge of the Hafizabad traffic DSP.
A large number of the affected applicants said that they had given several tests but DSP Naeem Cheema had allegedly failed them without any reason. They claimed that only one or two licenses were being issued every week since the transfer of the DSP, resulting in decrease in revenue. They further claimed that ratio of issuance of traffic licenses was 40 per cent in the district about five months ago, which had now come down to only 5 per cent.
Awami Mahaz Hafizabad president Rana Khalid Mehmood, Jamaat Ahle Sunnat district Nazim-e-Ala Allama Rana Muhammad Asghar Chishti, JUP leader Mian Asmatullah Qadri and others have demanded the Lahore traffic DIG look into the matter and resolve grievances of the people of Hafizabad. They have also demanded the high-ups concerned to fill the vacant post of the traffic DSP.
When contacted, traffic DSP Muhammad Naeem Cheema denied the allegations and said that a number of applicants failed as they did not read the traffic rules book. He said: “We are trying to create awareness among the people in this regard.”
