IDPs from North Waziristan suffer problems registering.

PESHAWAR (Dunya News) – The registration of affectees of North Waziristan operation continued in Peshawar for the second day on Tuesday. Poor administration has led the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) to experience adversities especially in the hot weather conditions. Media were also barred from entering the registration point, Dunya News reported.
The IDPs of North Waziristan are being registered at the Government College of Management Sciences on the second day. Migrants from district Datta Khel and district Boya of North Waziristan region are being registered after data verification. Media are not being allowed to enter the registration point by the FATA Disaster Management Authority (FDMA).
The registration procedure, on the other hand, was a chaos as it was on the first day. The administration has its setup under the shelter while no arrangements have been made to provide shelter to the affectees from the scorching sun and so they have to tolerate the heat, standing in long queues.
FDMA was sought to talk on the situation but they refused to comment. IDPs had suffered a similar mismanagement the day before. Problems of the victims have increased manifold due to the shortage of registration staff.
People had to keep waiting, standing in long queues at the counter set up by the administration outside college in order to get their mobile sims cards.
The registration of North Waziristan’s Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) began in Peshawar on Monday. IDPs belonging to Miranshah will be registered in the first phase, Dunya News reported.
According to Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA), the registration of North Waziristan IDPs is taking place at Government College of Commerce Hayatabad.
The affectees from Miranshah Tehsil will be registered in the first stage. The registration of affectees from other Tehsils of North Waziristan will also continue from July 7 until July 14.
Meanwhile, a large number of IDPs reached Government College Hayatabad for registration right after Seheri.
