He further said that by link driving license with Aadhaar, a drunk driver would be caught easily if he/she manages to escape.
“I am in conversation with Union Minister Nitin Gadkari to link Aadhaar card with (driving) licence so that if a drunk driver escapes from one state to another by killing people, he would be caught. A person can change name not his/her fingerprints,” Prasad said while addressing a press conference here.
