Hyderabad Police will write to the Road Transport Authority (RTA) seeking to cancel the driving licences of the parents of those children, who are caught driving vehicles without the valid document.
"Parents will be held responsible if their minor children are driving their vehicles without valid licenses. We seek cancellation of their (parents) driving licenses and will write to RTA in this regard," Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central Zone) V B Kamalasan Reddy said.
