Driving licences have yet to be issued to some people who took part in a speedy application scheme three months ago, local media reported.
Ehlakin, which was run by the Maldives Transport Authority, issued licences to more than 3,000 people by condensing the one-week theory and practical driving exams so they could be taken in one evening.
A driving licence is usually issued to people who pass the MTA’s theory and practical tests that are taken once applicants have had driving lessons.
Applicants who took the test in June told Avas that three months later they had yet to received their licence despite repeat visits to the transport authority. The licence is granted when the applicant receives an SMS.
