PESHAWAR, Aug 21: Employees of the Directorate General Registration (DGR), NWFP, have announced that they will launch a legal and constitutional campaign against what they described as ‘anti-human’ policies of the National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra).

In a press statement issued here, an official of the DGR said that laws and rules were being violated and everyone was exploiting government employees.

He said that Nadra had sealed all the records of registration offices in order to force the DGR staff to leave their jobs. “We will not allow Nadra to carry out this policy as we are permanent employees and recruited under the 1973 Constitution, whereas Nadra was set up in 1998,” he said.

He said that the Nadra Ordinance-2000 required the authority to provide incentives to the DGR staff, restore their actual government position, restore all districts, agencies and provincial headquarters of the DGR, post DGR staff in foreign missions and promote them.

He said that they would launch a legal battle and move the higher courts against Nadra policies.

The official said that Nadra had failed in its objectives as its annual income was Rs1.8 million whereas its expenditures were Rs2.8 million.—PPI
