Biometric made mandatory for air travel

In a bid to tighten border security, the government has decided to install bio-metric at all the airports of the country.

The interior ministry has written a letter to Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to take prompt actions.

The ministry has made bio-metric verification mandatory for international travellers. According to the interior ministry, the bio-metric verification measure will make it impossible for proclaimed offenders to travel domestically and locally.

The bio-metric machines will be installed at immigration counters of international airports, which will effectively screen the travellers.
