- NADRA develops database of 40,906 domestic servants
On the directives of Minister for Interior Nisar Ali Khan, the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has completed data collection of domestic servants and developed database of 40,906 servants, said NADRA spokesperson.
A large number of domestic servants belonging to different part of the country are working in the federal capital. They pose a potential security risk to their employer due to lack of identification. “The decision of registering domestic help was taken in wake of the prevailing law and order situation of the country,” she said.
The spokesperson said that the authority has constituted teams consisting of mobile registration vans (MRVs) for this purpose, which in their door-to-door campaign have registered 40,906 domestic servants in the capital. “NADRA accomplished the project in collaboration with the Capital Development Authority,” she said.
She added that NADRA visited around 58,227 houses to distribute forms for details. However, NADRA made a total 100,894 visits which is double the ratio of the visits done earlier for collection of the forms.
She said that after collection of 40,906 filled forms about domestic servants, NADRA has completed 100 percent digitisation of the entire data and converted it into a database, she added.
NADRA presented its final report the other day to Nisar Ali Khan which also contained data of 19,154 houses who refused to accept servant registration forms and failed to cooperate.
Meanwhile, the minister took serious notice of those who refused to receive or return the registration forms. The minister directed the police to obtain the necessary information and return the same to NADRA for integrating it into their database.
