The Department of Transport Management (DoTM) on Friday issued a public notice to this regard and the instruction is said to be for those vehicles registered in the Bagmati and Gandaki provinces.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The lawmaker accused the government of overcharging the citizens seeking this service, and giving substandard service to the people. The notice demands owners of vehicles to have the embossed number plate fixed on their vehicles from coming July 17. \u201cOver 1.5 million vehicles require to have the embossed number plate installed by the deadline for the implementation of the government\u2019s instruction and it means the plate has to be fixed on over 5,500 vehicles on a daily basis,\u201d the lawmaker said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The government was expected to facilitate the citizens when it lacks the necessary physical infrastructure and human resources of dealing with the matter, but it resorted to unleash tensions among the people, he added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He was of the view of revising the charge of the number plate and make its prices reasonable with the maintenance of the quality. He urged the government to stop its force on the citizens, citing that otherwise the instruction would be defied by the public.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lawmaker Thapa also expressed his concern over the missing of Devanagari script in the embossed number plate. \u201cOther countries have the embossed number plate on their own language, buy it is not possible in Nepal,\u201d he questioned.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Likewise, Samina Hussain said Hajj pilgrims were charged doubly and demanded action against those indulged in irregularities. Similarly, Yagya Bahadur Bogati and Ram Bahadur Bista demanded action on those involved in the murder of 15-year-old Binod Shahi of Panchadeval Binayak municipality-4 in Achham.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KATHMANDU &#8211; Nepali Congress (NC) lawmaker Gagan Kumar Thapa has objected to the government\u2019s edict to the citizens to have embossed number plate on their vehicles.
