According to the facts, the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) and the Punjab Interior Ministry came to an agreement over the granting of online weapons licences.

Online licence issuance and renewal for firearms will be made possible via the new platform, which also allows licence transfers into the name of another person.

According to Mohsin Naqvi, this kind of approach would stop corruption in the licencing of armaments.

Prior to this, Maqbool Baqar, the interim chief minister of Sindh, banned the province’s ability to issue weapons licences.

In accordance with the directive of acting Chief Minister Sindh Maqbool Baqar, the Interior Secretary released a notice. The notice said that the interior ministry and district commissioner offices would no longer be able to grant licences for the possession of firearms.

It is relevant to note that on January 20, the Pakistani Supreme Court (SC) sent letters to the Attorney General and the Advocate General, requesting a report within a month from the provincial interior secretaries and IGs about the issuing of forbidden weapons in a case involving stolen weapons.

The highest court acknowledged the written order at the accused’s bail hearing in an arms theft case. It was revealed that a forbidden licence had been issued at the case hearing.
