ILAM: The Transport Management Service Office, Ilam has first time proceeded towards the distribution of driving licenses since its establishment some seven years ago.

According to Office Chief Chhabilal Khatiwada, they have been granted permission by the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport to issue the driving license. The office has prepared to conduct the exam thrice a week.

The online application for the license has been available since November 13 and the Office is distributing around 100 admit cards on a daily basis.
Service seekers from the district itself, Panchthar, Taplejung, and Tehrathum are excited with the Office’s decision to issue licenses from Ilam. Prior to this, they had to visit either Birtamod of Jhapa or Itahari of Sunsari for obtaining their driving license.

The Office doesn’t have its own trial center and is preparing to take the trial in coordination with a private driving center.
