However, now all deputy commissioners are authorised to issue weapons licences, domicile and permanent residential certificates within their limits.
A notification was issued in this regard by the Sindh Home Department on Saturday.
As reported earlier, the then acting Sindh Governor Nisar Ahmed Khuhro had restored the commissioner system.
As a result, the unified city government of Karachi is dismantled and replaced by five districts: Karachi East, Karachi South, Karachi West, Karachi Central and Malir. The status of Hyderabad will also revert to its pre-2001 state.
