"As per the plan, a person, who is not able to apply online, can call transport department and thereafter, department's officials will go to his residence and collect his biometric details, photo and other required information.
"We have been working on the project for the last six months and in next four-five months, it will be implemented. This is being done for the first time in the country," Jain said.
