Election Commission is discussing about printing National Identification Cards (NID) at the District Offices. This would facilitate reprinting of lost or ruined NID. EC believe, it would be more convenient for the general public.EC had started accepting applications for NID correction at the Upazilla offices. But, only a single center for such purpose is gathering too much crowd.Therefore, they are thinking about, moving its reprinting section to the District Offices. This include all the solutions that can be achieved just by reprinting the NID, said EC Additional Secretary Md. Mokhlesur Rahman. But it is only being discussed at the primary level. It would take time, he added. Since, they would have to buy machines for each District offices, and connect them with the central database as well.
