Domicile seekers face multiple problems

Published September 30, 2003

TOBA TEK SINGH, Sept 29: The change in procedure of issuance of domicile certificates has multiplied problems for the common man.

Former DCO Salim Akhtar Kiani had ordered the officials concerned to issue the certificates to the applicants the same day they file the applications. But new DCO Karim Bakhsh, after assuming charge of the office, changed the procedure due to reason best known to him and now the applicants are asked to get certificate four days after filing the application.

The parents of students who were to submit admission forms in colleges were facing problems as they have to produce domicile certificates at the time of interview. They have appealed to the chief minister to order the DCO to make the procedure easy.

ACCIDENTS: Two people died in accidents on Monday in the district.

Labourer Allah Ditta was going to work in a cotton ginning factory on Pirmahal-Sindhilianwali road when a speeding wagon crushed him.

A speeding tractor-trolley crushed a minor boy in Chak 289-JB.

Bilal Ahmad was playing along the roadside when the accident took place.
