The meeting also decided to postpone the decision to implement the national identity card for receiving social security allowances for the time being. Minister for Information and Communication Technology Rekha Sharma informed that the meeting decided to instruct the Ministry of Home Affairs to take the initiative not to implement it for the time being, as it will be difficult for citizens receiving social security allowances to get national identity cards due to floods and landslides in various parts of the country.
