Hoshiarpur, December 18
The Hoshiarpur Institute of Automotive & Driving Skills, a joint venture of the Punjab Government and the Red Cross, Hoshiarpur, was inaugurated by Minister for Industry and Commerce Sunder Sham Arora here on Friday. He was accompanied by Deputy Commissioner Apneet Riyait and Red Cross secretary Naresh Gupta. The institute will provide two-day refresher course to heavy commercial vehicle (HCV) drivers which is mandatory for the renewal of their driving licences.
Red Cross secretary Naresh Gupta told The Tribune, “It will cater to candidates from the Majha and Doaba regions and parts of the Malwa region. It will provide a great relief to drivers who aspire to renew their licence. Earlier, they had to travel far-off areas and faced hardships. The course fee would be Rs 430.”
DC Apneet Riyait said, “At present, the institute will not provide lodging facility during the two-day course. The institute will be providing refresher course, but we propose to start various courses in driving, automotive and other related fields soon.” — OC
