THE ministry of religious affairs` Haj application and balloting system is `powered` by a `provincial` information technology department.

I wonder what the ministry of IT, National Information Technology Board, Pakistan Computer Bureau Nadra, and Electronic Government Directorate are doing in the centre.

If Punjab Information Technology Board has to come all the way from Lahore to salvage a federal ministry of an e-governance challenge, then aren`t these five federal IT institutions redundant and inept? S. Ali Abuzar Wah Cantt
