Smart card production begins in Aug

The production of high quality smart national identity (NID) card will begin this (August) month. The Election Commission (EC) said people of Dhaka city and its adjoining area would get smart cards first. The EC said it would distribute the multipurpose smart cards to over 95 million citizens between September 2015 and June 2016. Election Commissioner Md Shah Nawaz said “We will distribute the smart cards soon. Another meeting of the commission will decide the distribution schedule.” He said 10 machines for smart card personalisation were already at hand. One of them would be installed at the project office at Agargaon and the rest would temporarily be put at prime minister’s relief office, he said. “We are very hopeful that we can go for production at the end of this month.” He said the distribution would immediately follow the production. Now the voters have laminated NID cards, according to a news agency.
