The increase in the bogus claims for ID cards distributed by the government has led the authority make the monitoring rigorous. CDO Basudev Dahal himself had joined the campaign exposing the fake claims. Dahal went to Jakhanitar of Manthali Municipality-15 and two doubtful claimants to the District Administration office for verification. We are looking for the family members who took more than one ID cards. If any wrongdoing is found, they will be denied any facility the government is to offer to the quake victims, Dahal said. Locals have complained that the more and more people were making the fake claims. Shanta Shrestha, a local social activist of Chisapani in Manthali Municipality-16 said that even in her village, she found out that more than 10 people had taken the ID cards saying they were separate family when in reality they are from joint family. DDRC has also called upon the locals to report anyone making such fake claim. It said the information can be provided through text message or anonymous written message.
