The National Assembly has approved four demands for grants pertaining to Interior Ministry for the next fiscal year.
These were moved by Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb. Cut motions moved by the opposition on these demands for grants were rejected by the house, according to a report by MOIB today.
Winding up discussion on the cut motions, Minister of State for Interior Talal Chaudhry highlighted reforms carried out in different departments of the Interior Ministry.
Referring to Pakistan’s sacrifices in the war on terror, he expressed the government’s firm commitment for peace in the country by eradicating the menace of terrorism. He said that NACTA and Provincial Intelligence Fusion and Threat Assessment Centers have been made functional.
Talal Chaudhary said the government has significantly strengthened its immigration and passport verification system, resulting in a forty-seven percent reduction in illegal migration from the country to various destinations worldwide.
The Minister of State for Interior said arrangements are being made to ensure that the passport facility is also available at NADRA offices.
Talal Chaudhry stated that the federal capital will become Pakistan’s first smart city, featuring a comprehensive e-governance system aimed at delivering efficient civic services to the people.
