Officials of the Population Registration and e-NIC Office on Monday said they will start issuing the electronic National Identity Cards (e-NIC) in the first week of next month.

According to the population registration office, making the office independent, addressing technical and human resources challenges had delayed the process.

A number of MPs meanwhile said they do not believe the remarks regarding the issuance of e-NIC.
