Ordinary people’s hassle in obtaining a passport in Nepal: A case in point

On March 30, 2021, my passport expired. As Covid was in full swing, and with restrictions all over the world, I did not find it necessary to renew it. But, recently, I needed to and I went through hell.

Things changed since the last time I made my passport. The process starts with making the national ID card. I filled up all the details online for the card, but I did not get a time or a date when I would get it. I tried again and again, but all my efforts were to no avail.
