PM Khan stresses upon utilization of latest technologies to facilitate masses

The Premier was addressing a launching ceremony of issuance of letters of administration and succession certificates by the Punjab government in collaboration with National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA).

 “The government is implementing E-governance to end routine files and paper system. For the first time, land record is being computerized to facilitate public,” he said.

The ceremony was attended by Minister for Law and Justice Farogh Naseem, Minister for Interior Shaikh Rashid Ahmad, Minister for Information and Broadcasting Chaudhry Fawad Hussain, Special Assistant to PM Dr Shahbaz Gill, Chairman NADRA Muhammad Tariq Malik, high authorities of the Punjab government and others.

The latest initiative is part of Prime Minister Imran Khan’s vision to facilitate the public to get their rights without facing difficulties.

Imran Khan said that it was the job of the government to remove hardships in the lives of people and serve them as it functioned on their taxes.

The prime minister further said that they expected NADRA to facilitate overseas Pakistanis as the government wanted to enable them take part in the general elections with some kind of foolproof voting system.

He said about nine million overseas Pakistanis were their assets as they had been serving the country economically by sending back remittances.

The prime minister further said that introduction of Electronic Voting Machines (EVM) would eliminate all polling issues. In the past, except 1970 elections, opposition parties had been raising objections over all the polling results.

The public would have trust in the EVMs, he said, adding that former US president Donald Trump had contested the presidential election results, but he could not prove his allegations due to use of latest technology.

The prime minister also lauded efforts of law minister and NADRA chairman for the successful launch of the initiative.
