Kathmandu: The Department of Transport Management is preparing to conduct a trial examination of driver's licenses from next year.
The department is preparing to operate from next year after the Covid-19 Crisis Management Center (CCMC) looked positive in this regard. The department had recommended to the CCMC to open the trial on Tuesday.
In the discussion held between the Director-General of the Department Namaraj Ghimire and the officials of the CCMC after the recommendation, the CCMC was positive to open the trial examination.
The CCMC had asked the department for a plan with strict health standards as the trial exams would be crowded. Director-General Ghimire said that the department is preparing to submit the criteria for the trial as per the health standards issued by the Ministry of Health and Population to the CCMC on Friday.
"We have also set the criteria for opening the CCMC trial," he said. "We have also asked the transport office to start preparations for opening the trial from next year by adopting health standards."
CCMC spokesperson Noor Hari Khatiwada said that he was not against opening the CCMC trial before and asked the department to send health standards for it.
"The CCMC is in favor of opening a trial, but we have asked for a plan on how to conduct the examination as it is crowded," he said.
The department had decided to open the trial from the last week of July and instructed the transport offices to prepare accordingly. Ghimire said that the trial could be opened as soon as the CCMC decides as the offices are ready accordingly.
