KATHMANDU: The Ministry of Home Affairs is stepping up efforts to establish a national identity card management centre for the distribution of Bio-Metric Smart Card.

Joint spokesperson at the ministry Praladh Pokharel informed that the ministry has initiated legal and technical preparations for the establishment of the card management centre.

The government has a policy to establish a separate central authority for the implementation and distribution of the smart cards bearing photographs of card holders.

The card will be taken as the national identity card that can also be used in elections. Pokharel said the ministry is preparing a legal draft for the distribution of smart cards.
