NID server down for maintenance purpose

Services on the National Identity Card (NID) server of the Election Commission (EC) have been down since Tuesday morning due to maintenance purpose. The election commission sources say that the server is temporarily down and will resume by tomorrow.
Muhammad Ashraf Hossain, system manager of the NID wing at the Election Commission, said that the NID service server has been kept down for some time and the service will be resuming from tomorrow.
Around 120 million citizens of the country have their personal information stored within the NID server. The NID server has been temporarily down several times this year. NID service was also closed on 16 August for maintenance.
Apart from that, operators in last June faced problems in using NID server for various purposes including verifying customers’ information while selling SIM cards for cell phones.
