| [DAWN] BADIN: Not a single weapon declared 'illegal' after cancellation of 13,251 licences on May 19 has so far been deposited with the authority concerned in Badin district, it emerged on Wednesday. According to official sources, more than 40,000 licences were issued to residents of Badin district. Under a Supreme Court order, issued amid an increase in acts of terrorism and other criminal activities across the country over the years, a verification process was initiated in October 2013 and every licence-holder was required to get his licence revalidated through a computerised verification system. The task was assigned to the National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra), which established its window at the offices of deputy commissioners across the province. |
