CCTV snag delays Driving Licence test at Chandigarh's Children Traffic Park

Tribune News Service

Chandigarh, June 28

A technical glitch in CCTV cameras delayed the regular driving licence test at Children Traffic Park in Sector 23 here today.

The test for regular driving licence for four-wheelers and two-wheelers resumed today after nearly two months as the office of the Registering and Licensing Authority (RLA) remained closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Deepak Kumar, an applicant, said he had an appointment for 9.30 am, but could not appear in the test due to non-functional CCTV cameras. Officials should have rectified the fault before restarting the test after a long period, he said.

Neena, another applicant, said scores of applicants faced inconvenience for several hours in the scorching heat due to the technical fault in the cameras and sensors. She, however, said the fault was rectified later and the test started around noon.

Admitting a delay in the conduct of the test, an official of the RLA said the technical fault was rectified and the test restarted around 12.30 pm. Only a few applicants could not appear in the test as they took appointments for later days; others appeared in the test, he said.
