Licence to Blunder!!!!!!!!

The following isn’t a part of my imagination but has been ‘word to word’ and ‘spelling to spelling’ copied from the “Form of application for renewal of driving licence”

“Medical certificate in respect of an applicant for renewal of driving licence”

This is the part 2 of the form:
To be filled by a registered medical prectinor appoined the purpose by the government or persons authorised in this benaif by the state government:

After the usual name, address and date of birth entries…here comes the real thing-

13.Is he able to distinguish with eash eye at distance of 25 metters good day light motor date? Yes/no

14. If he is your opining general danger to the public? Yes/no

It took me two readings to know what it all really meant. The first time I burst out laughing but as soon as I realised the relevance of the thing I was bewildered.

The RTO was going down the drain…was what I thought!
Who should be held responsible for this??

Well, the spelling mistakes could be overlooked keeping in mind the fact that maybe it was written by someone who had little/no knowledge about English…but then isn’t this reviewed by any higher authority??
My mind was brimming with these questions …and then I got the point.
This was INDIA.
Most of the government departments are going down the drain…it was just that this RTO thing had caught my notice.

Come to think of it…there are greater issues to be addressed, aren’t there??…Mistakes in a driving licence form hardly matter…

The day they do matter, INDIA would be a transformed nation…
And we won’t mind saying this from the bottom of our hearts…Mera Bharat Mahaan!!
