THIS is a complaint against the Hyderabad driving licence office, where corruption is being disguised as the legal procedure. There is no price list displayed by the office to inform citizens about the driving licence fee structure.

The medical check-up has no billing system and each applicant is being charged Rs260 for just reading the alphabets written on the board. In the absence of any price list, officers demand Rs500 and over as the fee. If someone asks about the exact amount, officers blatantly tell him to ‘wait and watch’ for showing resistance to corruption.

This greed for dirty money is causing serious problems for applicants. People must raise their voice against such practices. It is a call for transparency and accountability, and hope it rings the bell in the Sindh Assembly.
