KHAR: The residents of Bajaur have called on National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) to make the Civil Registration Management System (CRMS) operable at the swift registration centres in the region, a local media outlet reported on Tuesday.
The CRMS system has been inactive for several months now and is causing residents to face difficulties in obtain birth/ death certificates thereby forcing them to travel to Swat, Peshawar or Timergara for the paperwork.
Rights activists and other members of the civil society have also criticised the lack of access to the CMRS and say that local residents have demanded re-activation ever since it became inoperable.
A NADRA official in Khar acknowledged that the online CMRS was not working in the region but explained that residents could access it in the swift registration centre in Nawagai.
