DADU, Oct 21: Sindh People’s Party Parliamentarians president Nisar Ahmad Khuhro has said people are facing difficulties in elections and routine work as Nadra has failed to ensure timely issuance of Computerized National Identity Cards.
Talking to journalists at the Dadu PPP office on Monday, he said it was inspite of the fact that Nadra spent Rs2 billion on its offices annually.
