Aadhaar card proof of residence: DC

Ludhiana, February 13

Deputy Commissioner Ravi Bhagat has issued fresh instructions that the Aadhaar card would be considered as proof of residence for making a driving licence.

Residents have been facing problems as the DTO staff have refused to consider the card as proof of residence. They ask applicants to furnish additional proof of residence besides their Aadhaar cards.

Meanwhile, District Transport Officer Dalwinderjit Singh said additional proof of residence was not asked for in all cases. The staff could have asked applicants to furnish the same in special cases. He said he had again directed the staff to accept the Aadhaar card as proof of residence. — TNS
