Motorway Police opens first driving licence centre in Sindh
The facility on the M-9 will issue licences for motorcycles, cars, jeeps and light transport vehicles.
The National Highways and Motorway Police (NHMP) has opened its first Driving Licensing Authority (DLA) Facilitation Center in Sindh, expanding its licence services in the province.
The centre is located at the DIG Office, South Zone, on the M-9 motorway and was inaugurated by Additional Inspector General South Region Javed Akbar Riaz, according to the NHMP.
The facility will initially issue driving licences for motorcycles, cars, jeeps and light transport vehicles (LTVs). NHMP said the centre has been equipped with modern technology to make the licensing process more transparent, efficient and convenient for applicants. The system is intended to reduce unnecessary delays and improve access to licensing services.
Speaking at the inauguration, Riaz said the centre was part of efforts to provide standardized and merit-based driving licence services. He added that an improved licensing system would help promote safer driving, better compliance with traffic laws and greater road discipline by ensuring motorists are properly licensed and aware of traffic regulations.
The new facility will serve residents of Karachi and other parts of Sindh who need NHMP driving licence services. It is the first centre of its kind in Sindh.
