The Punjab Police has set up a central computerized Driving License Issuance Management System (DLIMS) which would not only minimize forgeries in driving licenses but would also be helpful in tracing out the anti-state elements, Inspector General (IG) Punjab Police Mushtaq Ahmad Sukhera said on Thursday.

Speaking at the inaugural ceremony of DLIMS at Qurban Lines, the IG said that the system would help law enforcement agencies improve their operations by identifying anti-state elements through features incorporated in the system.

He said that the system had been installed in all 36 districts of Punjab and that applicants would now be able to receive licenses within five days. He added that the license could be used as state ID as all features including the NIC number, contact number, address, blood group and height of the license holder had been incorporated.

The license would be helpful in matching data with NADRA in case of any traffic violation, he said.

Sukhera praised the joint efforts of the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) and Traffic Police Management for establishing such a state-of-the-art project.
