DoTM yet to Print Smart License Despite Procuring Mass Printer
Notice (8): Undefined index: caption [APP/View/Articles/view.ctp, line 241]

October 31: The Department of Transport Management (DoTM) has failed to print smart license despite importing a mass printer more than two months ago. The department had promised to solve the problem of issuing smart license by the time of Dashain, after purchasing the machine with the financial assistance of Asian Development Bank (ADB). However, it has failed to print the license with the help of the new machine.

The department had decided to procure the mass printer after it couldn’t deliver smart licenses on time with the help of nine small printers purchased from Madras Security Print.

The department claimed that the new mass printer can run for 24 hours a day and can print 500 smart licenses per hour.

IT chief of DoTM Shree Chandra Shah attributed the delay to the need of testing the capacity of the new printer.

“We will first test the machine immediately after Tihar and then only bring it into operation,” said Shah.

The department also admitted that the lack of skilled manpower to operate the machine has also caused the inordinate delay in printing smart licenses.
