CHITWAN, July 5: The practical examination (trial) for the driver's license will be held for the first time in a district. Preparations have been made to take the exam from the second week of July in Chitwan.
According to Binod Poudel, chief of the Transport Management Service Office, Chitwan, driver's licenses can now be obtained from Chitwan itself. A 'trial center' is being set up by the private sector for the practical exam. According to Poudel, two companies have been shortlisted for this.
When will the closed trial centers reopen?
The financial proposals of these companies are to be opened at the District Administration Office on July 7. After that, a notice will have to be issued for a seven-day intent and a 15-day agreement. “As the process progresses, we will open the online form for the public,” he said. “Then the process will move forward from the second week of July.”
Earlier, six centers had submitted technical and financial proposals to provide trial centers in Chitwan. Mahalakshmi Trial Center and Sadguru Driving have been selected after the evaluation of the technical proposals. Poudel said that a trial center that proposes to provide a trial center for a small fee will be selected in the economic evaluation.
Meanwhile, according to Poudel, trial tests of 'A', 'B' and 'C' class vehicles will be conducted from Chitwan initially. The ‘A’ category includes motorcycles, scooters, mopeds, the ‘B’ category includes four- and three-wheeled small vehicles and the ‘C’ category includes heavy and medium sized vehicles. Earlier, the residents of the district had to go to Hetauda, Birgunj, Kawasoti, Kathmandu and other places for their driving license exams.
