The GSR 401 (E) dated 24th June 2020 is a social and facilitative regulation published by the Ministry.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Ministry has been taking many measures to enable divyangjan citizens to avail transport related services and especially relating to the obtaining of the Driving Licence. The Advisories issued in regard to facilitate driving licence to the divyangjan and further an advisory for people with monocular vision have been issued earlier.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Ministry received representations that the Colour Blind Citizens are not able to have the driving licence made as restrictions through the requirements in the declaration about physical fitness (FORM I) or the Medical certificate (FORM IA) makes it difficult.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The issue was taken up with Medical Expert Institution and advice was sought. The recommendations received were to allow\u00a0 Mild to Medium Colour Blind Citizens to be allowed to drive and put restrictions only on the severe colour blind citizens from driving. This is also allowed\u00a0 in other parts of the world. Accordingly a draft notification was issued to seek comments and suggestions.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Ministry of Road Transport &amp; Highways<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:
