Earlier, on Oct 8, the Sindh Assembly had passed the bill which allows for the first time the deaf persons to obtain a driving license to hit roads without having to depend on others.
The hearing-impaired people will have to equip their vehicles with certain devices to hear horns and sound of ambulance sirens with prescribed automotive and window panes.
