ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – With reopening of National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) offices across country after lockdown, people started to throng service centers to avail computerized national identification card (CNIC) related services.

On resumption of NADRA offices after around a month, people have been found shrugging off precautionary measures as prescribed by the government and are observing long queues ignoring compulsory minimum distance next to each other to avoid possible contraction with the virus.
