SANGHAR, Sept 22: Making of domicile and permanent residence certificate has been made an uphill task in the district. Both the documents are mandatory to attach with certificates while applying for admission to public universities.

The last date for admission to the Sindh University is September 30 and the last date for the Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences is October 5.

About 350 students will suffer if they did not get domicile and the PRC. A student, who wants to get these certificates, have to start from primary school certificate, then middle school, matriculation.

Then he will go to the union council to get a residence certificate, then to an oath commissioner, followed by several visits to area patwaris along with two notables of the area for verification of the facts, two or three times to the National Bank of Pakistan to deposit Rs40 fees.

After completion of these formalities which take almost 20 days and more than Rs1,000 expenses, documents will be submitted to Mukhtiarkar, then DDO revenue, DO, EDO and finally to the DCO who is the issuing authority.

Now the DCO has added another condition to bring father’s/mother’s domicile in which name of the candidate must be included.

Many people had obtained domicile and the PRC some 20 to 30 years ago when they were not married so how they should have included their children’s names or computerized Form-B.

The students have been advised by the DCO office first to get their names entered in the father’s domicile and then apply for the same.

At present, on Thursday 50 applicants from Khipro taluka, 45 from Sinjhoro, 80 from Shahdadpur, 25 from Tando Adam, 20 from Jam Nawaz Ali and more than 50 from Sanghar taluka were pending and still more students were applying daily and those from poor families will suffer a lot if the domicile and PRC were not issued on time.
