The motor transport department says that the backlogged driving licenses will be issued in the next 6 months.
Commissioner General Nishantha Anuruddha Weerasinghe said that a stock of more than 9 lakh driver’s licenses has accumulated.
Due to the lack of printers needed to print driver’s licenses, driver’s licenses have piled up.
The Commissioner General said that three new printers were received last Monday.
Accordingly, steps have been taken to start printing from this week.
