Several elderly persons were seen standing in queues while some were waiting outside as no work was being done on the computers at the automated driving test & online licence centre.

“I came here for the renewal of my licence for the second time. Halle vi pata nai kamm hona ke nai. Har vaar da hi hai, bada mushkil hai,” said an elderly person.
