Mother gets citizenship copy signed by her son, the issuing officer

For Motikala Oli, obtaining a replacement for her water-damaged citizenship certificate was a routine government task. However, her visit to the District Administration Office in Rukum West, Nepal, turned into a deeply memorable occasion.

Her son, Keshab Prasad Oli, serves as the assistant chief district officer at the same office. When Motikala arrived to apply for the duplicate document, she discovered her son was the official responsible for issuing it. This coincidence led to a heartwarming moment as Keshab processed his mother's certificate.

I could actually be the one signing my mother’s citizenship certificate. That made me incredibly happy.

Keshab described the experience as incredibly satisfying. He realized he had the unique opportunity to sign his mother's official document. "I could actually be the one signing my mother’s citizenship certificate," he recalled thinking, feeling immense happiness. He had previously helped his mother gather the necessary paperwork from the ward office.

When Motikala came to collect the processed certificate, she found her son ready to apply the final signature. Keshab, who had signed hundreds of certificates during his year-long posting, considered this one exceptionally special. He signed his mother's document in red ink, capturing the moment on camera. "I will remember it for the rest of my life," he stated, emphasizing the significance of this personal milestone.
