Embossed number plates installed on less than two percent of vehicles

Kathmandu / Nov 1: The process to install embossed number plates on vehicles which is considered vital for the safety of motor vehicles reports a sluggish process.

The government decided to install such number plates on vehicles six years ago but so far embossed number plates have been fixed on less than two percent of the vehicles in the country.

Though the government had set a target of fixing embossed number plates on 2.5 million vehicles in five years, so far the progress is too less than the target. Embossed number plates have been placed only on 35,000 vehicles, according to the Department of Transport Management.

We are just requesting the people to get the embossed number plates installed on their vehicles, said Ishwori Datta Paneru, the spokesperson for the Department.

He shared, “As the Department is a law enforcement body, it is requesting the service recipients to implement the law.”

Spokesperson Paneru mentioned that all should install embossed number plates on their vehicles as it is the responsibility of all to follow the laws. RSS
