Kathmandu, November 22

The Department of Transport Management once again has halted distribution of driving licences citing upcoming provincial and federal parliamentary elections.

Chief of the Transport Management Office in Ekantakuna of Lalitpur, Tej Narayan Yadav, says the distribution was halted as the Department staff and traffic police who would assist the Office to conduct trials have been deployed for polls.

“Trials cannot be conducted without traffic police,” he says, “Therefore, we have halted the distribution until a further notice.” He says the process will resume as soon as the elections will be over.

However, the renewal of licence has not been halted, according to him.

Meanwhile, officials say local governments will be authorised to distribute driving licence once the country fully adopts the federal structure after the polls.
