CHITWAN: Two young men from Khairahani Municipality–5, Nischal Chaudhary and Shankar Chaudhary, have received Nepali citizenship in their mother’s name.
The youths were granted citizenship in the name of their mother, Nisha Mahato (Chaudhary), by Chief District Officer Ganesh Aryal.
This is the first time in the district that citizenship has been issued under a mother’s name following recent amendments to the Citizenship Act and Regulations.
“Mahato is visually impaired, so with the support of our staff, we were able to provide citizenship to her sons,” said Aryal.
With no contact with their father, the mother had been caring for the children, and this marks a historic moment for both the family and the district administration.
While handing over the citizenship, Aryal advised the brothers, “Take care of your mother and stay focused on your goals.” The two siblings expressed their joy at officially becoming Nepali citizens, describing it as a significant moment in their lives. They received citizenship at the ages of 24 and 20, respectively.
