✍️ The Times of India 🗓 25 Jun 2026, 09:01 PM 👁 2

Following a recent incident, Delhi Police are advocating for enhanced screening processes for individuals seeking to drive cabs in the capital city.

Delhi Police are set to advocate for more rigorous background checks for individuals aspiring to become cab drivers within the National Capital Region. This move comes in the wake of a recent incident that has prompted authorities to re-evaluate existing screening protocols.

The police department intends to formally propose stricter measures to relevant authorities. The objective is to ensure a higher level of safety and security for commuters by thoroughly vetting potential drivers before they are allowed to operate commercial vehicles.

While specific details of the proposed screening enhancements are yet to be released, the emphasis is on strengthening the process to prevent any potential risks to the public. The initiative aims to bolster confidence in the city's taxi services.
