Waiting in vain

Thousands of vehicle-owners have been waiting to get the new number plates for the last many months. In several cases, the number plates were shown online as ‘printed’ on Nov 5, but even after multiple visits to the office, the applicants have not received them. Besides the delay in receiving the new number plates, the staff remains uncooperative while dealing with the applicants. Moreover, the distribution timings are also severely limited, making it extremely inconvenient for working individuals to have multiple visits for the purpose. As a result, people are forced to drive without proper number plates, increasing the risk of fines and legal complications.
