The report said that it was noticed in many cities that NADRA staff is asking death certificates of Husbands to their widows, which is not impossible in this situation.

They recommended that Municipal staff should be assigned to sit with NADRA teams to verify such cases or any other alternate solution would be provided to the Flood affected widows.

Report further said that flood affected people are use to create panic when they could not afford the blazing Sun, therefore shades would be made outside the Wattan Cards centers.
