Kathmandu – Fifty-three organizations have expressed their opposition to the Nepalese government’s decision to issue embossed vehicle number plates with only English letters. At a joint meeting held on Thursday, these organizations urged the government to take notice of the issue and implement embossed number plates in the Nepali language.

In a statement issued after the meeting, the organizations requested that the government respectfully include Nepali letters on the number plates. The statement noted that the unilateral decision to remove Nepali letters from vehicle number plates contradicts the Constitution, government notices published in the gazette, and the sentiments of the Nepalese people. It emphasized that the government should immediately correct the decision and use Nepali letters with due respect. The statement also warned that the government would be fully responsible for all consequences if the decision is not amended.
