LAHORE (Dunya News) – National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) on Tuesday terminated the jobs of more than 350 employees and it is preparing to fire a thousand more as well. The dismissals were made on the pretext of projects being concluded, however according to an investigation by Dunya News, no such projects have been ended. More than a 100 of the dismissed employees were on contract employment.
No reasons were given on the letters of termination submitted to the employees. Sources say that preparations to terminate more employees have been completed, after NADRA was pressurized for the cutbacks by the Interior Ministry.
The employees’ contract renewal process is also on a rapid decline which has given rise to an extremely unsettling environment in the offices of NADRA.
