Lack of software stops arms licence cancellation.

OKARA -- People, who want to get their computerised arms licence cancelled, are facing a great deal of inconvenience as the National Database and Registration Authority is yet to develop proforma cancellation software.

A local Nadra official told this correspondent that the authority could not develop software for the cancellation of computerised arms licence until the provincial home department permits it accordingly.

'Now it's the responsibility of the home department to allow Nadra authorities to develop software for cancellation of arms licences. Only then Nadra can resolve the issue to avoid repeated visits of people to its offices,' he said.

It merits mentioning that Nadra has been computerising the [manual] arms lincences since 2015 but this system is deficient in the cancellation side.
