ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Khan said the government was fully committed to E-governance for better performance and delivery system. He was speaking at the launching ceremony of issuance of letters of administration and succession certificates by the Punjab government in collaboration with National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra).

“The government is implementing E-governance to end routine files and paper system. For the first time, land record is being computerised to facilitate public,” he said, adding that in the federal capital territory, this system was being introduced under a target set for the month of August.

The prime minister said people often faced difficulties in their day-to-day life but IT had provided short-cut solutions to various issues. He said they expected Nadra to facilitate overseas Pakistanis as the government wanted to enable them to take part in the general elections with some kind of foolproof voting system.

He said about nine million overseas Pakistanis were their assets as they had been serving the country economically by sending back remittances.

He further said introduction of Electronic Voting Machines (EVM) would eliminate all polling issues and the public would have trust in the EVMs.

Prime Minister Khan also visited the Digital Media Wing of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.

Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry, who was present on the occasion, briefed the prime minister about a comprehensive digitalisation policy, under which national broadcasting institutions would be digitised in phases.
