Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has directed officials to ban mobile SIMs issued on ineffective and expired identity cards, highlighting the importance of upholding data integrity and safeguarding citizens' information.
The minister has taken decisive action to enhance security measures and streamline services at the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA).
During a visit to the NADRA headquarters, he received comprehensive briefings on various sectors, emphasizing the need for enhanced security measures and improved service delivery. In line with this directive, he instructed NADRA authorities to ensure the complete security of citizens' data while also enhancing mobile platforms to provide greater convenience to the public.
Additionally, he underscored the importance of leveraging social media platforms to effectively promote NADRA's initiatives and services.
