The National Identity Card (NIC) rule will be applicable only in areas where the curfew is in force, according to the President’s Office said today.
However, the NIC rule will not apply in locations where the curfew is relaxed.
The NIC system has been introduced to limit the number of people stepping out to purchase essential items.
The public are only permitted to purchase goods on selected days based on the last digits of their NICs.
The NIC system which comes into effect in areas where the curfew is in force, is as follows,
- Monday :NICs ending with digits 1 or 2
- Tuesday :NICs ending with digits 3 or 4
- Wednesday :NICs ending with digits 5 or 6
- Thursday :NICs ending with digits 7 or 8
- Friday :NICs ending with digits 9 or 0
