hello all

I am very confused on what nepali law says about replacing one's nepali citizenship card (nagrita). I have a grandmother who has lost her card and her husband is no longer living but we have his original nagrita card. She also has a photocopy of her original card. Will this be enough for the local nagar palika to issue her a new card?

I have spoken to few ppl and they have said that the photocopy is enough. The people in the nagar palika said that it's up to the head chief but won't give us clear answer on what official rules exist surrounding the replacement of a nagrita card if one happens to lose it. I am sure those nagar palika officers are going to give us hard tiime and ask for money and bribe as much as they can.

If you know the rules, can you please share. Thanks.
