KARACHI, September 08, 2009 (Balochistan Times): National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has made special arrangements to treat all disabled/special persons exclusively and their CNICs shall be processed in Fast Track Category without charging any fee. Stating this Chairman NADRA, Ali Arshad Hakeem said that according to the international standards/specifications NADRA is issuing Special ID Cards, with disability logo. This initiative is in line with the global concept of social corporate responsibility practiced by NADRA. He said NADRA has also taken another leap forward in recognizing the privileges of Special Persons, by providing them Special Cards through Fast Track services free of cost. In this regard NADRA is providing special facilities for processing of CNIC application for Special Person at more than 350 NSRCs, which have separate entry points for special persons, guidance/facilitation arrangements, availability of wheel chairs/ramps and above all, application processing by specially deputed staff.

Besides registration of such people, it will bring awareness amongst general public that Special Persons deserve exceptional treatment.
