[Pak Daily Times] Sindh Information Minister Shazia Marri said on Saturday that Sindh government had detected 21,438 fake computerized and 20,456 manual national identity cards, besides unearthing 1,264 people involved in double government jobs.This she said while addressing an urgent presser at the Sindh Secretariat. Marri further said that besides detecting fake NICs and people having double government jobs with the help of Auditor General Sindh and National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA), the government had also unearthed 381 cases of deceased employees, whose salaries were being issued illegally.
Talking about statistics in detail, she said that NADRA had blocked 638 CNICs and 82 manual identity cards for reservations. Marri said that though manual cards had not been issued since 2002 and their usage was objectionable since 2004, around 73,000 manual cards were being used.
"The age of around 16,065 government employees had been registered wrongly, despite the fact that public servants are provided with a period of two years to correct their particulars in record, if needed," she said, adding that all the statistics had been revealed by scrutinising the record of 401,388 government employees in the first phase of the drive, launched three months ago on the directives of the Sindh chief minister.
She said that fake voting had become a severe and burning issue of the society while President Asif Ali
