Nadra Chairman Admits Staff’s Involvement in Fake ID Cards

The boss of the National Database Registration Authority (Nadra), General Munir Afsar, told a group of important people in the Senate that some of his workers have been helping people get fake ID cards. This is a problem because these fake IDs are used for all sorts of illegal stuff. The meeting was led by a Senator named Mohsin Aziz.

The Nadra boss said that they had punished about 84 workers for doing these illegal things. However he also said that the Workers sometimes don’t get in Trouble because there are no strong laws about Privacy.

At the same time in another Place the people who Control the Country’s phones (the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority or PTA) arrested five People in a joint Operation with the cops. These people were part of a company that sells phone connections and they were giving out illegal phone cards to Afghans.
