NADRA exempts senior citizens from CNIC renewal

[Naveed Yaseen]

KARACHI: The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has decided to take special initiatives for senior citizens of Pakistan. According to a NADRA spokesman, the measures have been taken in light of the various difficulties that senior citizens have faced continuously over the past. According to the spokesman, citizens aged 65 years and above will no longer have to renew their cards, thus, saving them the inconvenience of the cumbersome process. Moreover, senior citizens will be given preference in queues, meaning that if a senior citizen is spotted in the queue, he will be assisted by the NADRA staff and given priority. Disable and handicapped citizens will also be provided with wheelchairs. Large organisations are bound to be plagued by such issues but the constant feedback of customers for the improvement of our services goes a long way in assisting us, said the spokesman. staff report
