An
official from Rakhine State Immigration and Population Department said nearly
3,000 people from Shwe Zar Village, Maungtaw Township, Rakhine State have been
issued National Verification Cards (NVCs) and technology-based National
Electronic IDs (NIDs), a pilot programme.
“NVC works by the ministry were
started in 12 October with 60 staff as per the instruction of the State
Counsellor Office. Currently, 50 staff divided into four groups are carrying
out the programme. The four groups have already issued NVCs to 1,457 people and
NIDs to 1,503 people of Shwe Zar Village, Maungtaw Myoma west ward and Myoma
south ward in Maungtaw Township”, said Maungtaw District Immigration and
Population Department Assistant Director U Than Shwe.
Although
the staff from the Ministry of Labour, Immigration and Population is continuing
the process of issuing NVCs and NIDs in the compound of Basic Education Middle
School (branch), Zedipyin Village, Shwe Zar Village Tract, Maungtaw Township,
the number of people making NVCs and NIDs are declining. Shwe Zar Village tract
containing 12 Muslim villages is close to Maungtaw Township.
