Arms licence

Published March 23, 2017

I HAVE not received my computerised arms licence having tracking number 78151000052 dated Oct 2, 2013. My licence was issued in 1974, almost 43 years ago by the then commissioner of Karachi.

I have visited the DC, South, Karachi office licence branch and home department, Sindh government, many times and have received the same response they had not received the licence from the interior ministry.

The interior ministry should direct the computerised arms licence branch to issue my licence.
