NEPALI PERSON IN QUARTAR

Officially established circa 1960, it used to be called Nepal Guptachar Bhibhag (Secret Service). It was later renamed to Public Relations Office in 1983 to better reflect its mission. When multi-party democracy was restored in 1990, the erstwhile democratically elected government decided to rename it once more to National Investigation Department by enacting Special Service Act on August 28, 1985. The ranks and grade of the employee were aligned with that of regular police force for administrative purpose until 1983. Parliament enacted laws in 1985 to remove the word "police" from their service by passing Special Service Act 1985 and now have civilian titles. Employees of NID are issued fire arms in need but they don't have official uniform and mostly do their work through their undercover agents.
