KATHMANDU, MAY 16

'Nagarik App' has been downloaded by over 600,000 users since the government launched it four months ago.

So far, the total number of downloads of the App stands at 640,503.

The figure reflects public attraction towards the App that was launched on January 15 with the slogan, "Supporting Communications and Information Technology, Government Services at Hand.'' The full-version of the App was launched on May 2. The App aims to digitise all government services and deliver them through an integrated platform.

According to the National Information Technology Centre, only 222,315 (34.7 per cent) of the total downloads have been verified so far, meaning 65.3 per cent downloads are yet to be verified.

The centre's officials said that they were receiving complaints from a large number of the app users about the non-verification of downloads.

Most of them are contacting the centre's official through telephone to lodge complaints. Most complaints are related to Nepal Telecom.
