NEW DELHI: IT and Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad today said he is in talks with Union Minister Nitin Gadkari to expedite the process of linking motor vehicle driving licences with biometric identifier Aadhaar.
“I am taking with Nitin Gadkari ji to finalise the linking up all the motor mehicle driving licences with Aadhaar,” Prasad said addressing the NSE Tech Conclave 2018 here.
Prasad said that the move will be in public safety and public interest, and added that some state initiatives are already on, in this regard.
“Say, a driver from one state driving in another in a state of drunkenness attempts a hit-and-run and then takes a duplicate driving licence from a different state. Now, when he goes he can fake his name but cannot fake his digital identity,” the Minister said.
“We are fast-track expediting it,” he said referring to his ongoing talks with Gadkari. (AGENCIES)
