Vehicle Owners Report Delays in Obtaining Fitness Certificates

Vehicle Owners Report Delays in Obtaining Fitness Certificates

Old vehicle owners in Kakinada are having trouble getting their cars checked to make sure they are safe to drive.

The government now uses special stations to do these checks, but there are not enough of them to handle all the cars.

This means that people have to wait a long time to get their cars inspected, and sometimes they have to come back another day.

Some owners also have to pay again to get a small problem fixed so they can pass the test.

Before these new stations, officials sometimes took bribes to pass cars.

Now, people are happy they don't have to pay bribes, but they want the government to fix the delays so they can get their car's check quickly.
