KATHMANDU: Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal has directed to immediately provide driver’s license to service users who have been waiting for their turn for a long time.

In a joint meeting with officials working on the distribution of driving licenses, national identity cards and passports, the Prime Minister directed the immediate distribution of driver’s licenses to the 1.4 million applicants who applied for driver’s licenses.

Stating that not being able to get a driver’s license even after passing the driving license test is a serious matter, Prime Minister Dahal warned the Department of Transportation to be sure about the distribution of driver’s licenses. “Nowadays, information technology is important, results based on integrated technology should be given, for that coordination between the state mechanisms is necessary”, Prime Minister Prachanda said.

On this occasion, the Prime Minister reminded of his commitment to end the long queues at the government offices, and also asked the officials to pay serious attention to quality service delivery while enhancing the efficiency of the office.
