Rana Sanaullah, the interior minister, has inaugurated the NADRA Biker Service, which would handle all CNIC applications for renewal and modification at the applicant’s door.
The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) Headquarters in Islamabad hosted the inaugural ceremony.
According to a press release, Rana Sanaullah visited the authority’s headquarters where NADRA Chairman Muhammad Tariq Malik informed the Interior Minister on activities in South Punjab, Balochistan, and Sindh, which have been severely impacted by disastrous floods and high rains.
The minister was informed that the monsoon rains and floods have caused heavy losses to the most of buildings of NADRA registration centres which are inundated under water; however, the equipment has been saved and evacuated. Houses of 150 NADRA employees in those areas have been damaged, the chairman informed.
Moreover, during the briefing NADRA chairman informed the interior minister that more than 37 million people have been terribly affected due to ongoing floods and continuous rain pour.
He told that the heavy rains and flooding situation in certain areas had led to the loss of CNICs of affected people which would be needed to have an access to governments’ relief disbursement and other relief activities.
With regard to NADRA Biker Service, Malik informed that initially the pilot phase of the service would be started in Islamabad and Rawalpindi. By the end of December this year, the NADRA Biker service would be extended to all the districts of the country, he added.
