ID card required for Delhi people!
Delhi people are advised to carry an identity proof with them while stepping out of their homes on or after 15 January, as the capital’s Lieutenant Governor, Tejendra Khanna, has issued orders making it obligatory for citizens to carry an identity proof with them in the wake of growing terror threats in the capital as well as across the nation.
The Delhi Police has announced that it will launch a special drive from January 15 as part of which people can be stopped and asked to prove their identity though it’s not decided about any action to be taken against the person who fails to furnish an ID proof.
Pan card, driving license, ration card etc. can be used as ID proof. Also the Delhi government has made it compulsory to carry a driver’s license issued by the NCT authorities if the vehicle is being driven in the national capital.
Those driving in the capital with driving license of other states will have to appear for a test and get license made by Delhi’s licensing authorities.
