Nisar to call back all politically appointed NADRA officials from foreign postings

An official statement says officials deployed since 2008 will immediately return from Abu Dhabi

Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar on Friday called back all staffers of the National Database Registration Authority (NADRA) from foreign missions who were either politically posted or have completed their tenure.

Taking notice of overstay of Nadra officials at several missions, in addition to irregularities pertaining to the postings of the officials abroad, Nisar said that any official which had been deployed in Abu Dhabi from 2008 will immediately return.
