The Min­istry of Trans­port and Civ­il Avi­a­tion has an­nounced a tem­po­rary sus­pen­sion of ser­vices at the Princes Town Li­cens­ing Of­fice due to a sched­uled elec­tric­i­ty dis­rup­tion. The in­ter­rup­tion will oc­cur on Wednes­day, 13 May 2026, be­tween 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., leav­ing the of­fice with­out pow­er dur­ing that pe­ri­od.

As a re­sult, all ser­vices at the Princes Town Li­cens­ing Of­fice will be un­avail­able for the day. Nor­mal op­er­a­tions are ex­pect­ed to re­sume on Thurs­day.

The Min­istry has as­sured the pub­lic that in­di­vid­u­als with ap­point­ments sched­uled for 13 May will not need to resched­ule. In­stead, they will be ac­com­mo­dat­ed be­tween Thurs­day, 14 May and Wednes­day, 20 May, ex­clud­ing week­ends. To com­plete their trans­ac­tions, per­sons must present proof of their pre­vi­ous­ly sched­uled ap­point­ment at the Princes Town Li­cens­ing Of­fice.

In its state­ment, the Min­istry ex­pressed re­gret for any in­con­ve­nience caused by the dis­rup­tion and ex­tend­ed thanks to the pub­lic for its pa­tience and co­op­er­a­tion. The an­nounce­ment un­der­scores the im­por­tance of planned main­te­nance and in­fra­struc­ture work, while en­sur­ing that cit­i­zens are not dis­ad­van­taged by the tem­po­rary sus­pen­sion of ser­vices.
