Nepal seeks India's nod to recognise National Identity Card for cross-broder travel

Nepal has formally requested India's approval for its biometric National Identity card. This card is sought as an officially recognized travel document for cross-border journeys. The proposal has been routed through diplomatic channels to New Delhi for consideration. Immigration authorities believe recognizing the NID card will streamline travel over both routes. This initiative aims to offer travelers an additional layer of convenience.
