Chief Election Commissioner Kazi Habibul Awal today said that the issue of shifting all services relating NID cards from the Election Commission to the home ministry, was solely a government matter.
The Cabinet today approved in principle the draft, which will bring the national identity registration operation under Security Services Division, Ministry of Home Affairs, from Election Commission.
The government is going to give the job of issuing national identity (NID) cards to the home ministry, taking it away from the Election Commission which has been doing it since 2006.
