Minister Announces NADRA Overhaul Biometric Machines and More Centers

The minister announced this after visiting the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) headquarters where he chaired an important meeting during which various proposals were discussed to make NADRA more people-friendly.

Additionally, biometric machines will be installed at union council levels nationwide.

Mohsin Naqvi directed that a plan be devised within a few days to finalize the issuance and renewal of identity cards at the union council level. He also sought a plan to make the Identity Card system foolproof, better, and efficient.

He emphasized the need for a plan that would facilitate visitors to NADRA centers and ensure prompt service without delay.

Considering the long queues of citizens, the minister also sought a plan to increase NADRA centers in six major cities, including Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar, Quetta, Islamabad, and Rawalpindi within seven days. He also ordered effective action against the fake identity card mafia.

Later, the minister visited the NADRA operational room, where he was briefed on the digital monitoring system of centers across Pakistan. He appreciated the efforts of Chairman NADRA, Lieutenant General Muhammad Munir Afsar, and his team.

Secretary Interior, Khurum Ali Agha, and senior officials were also present on the occasion.
