THIS is about the re-verification of sim cards through the biometric system.
The government has ordered all cellphone service operators to re-verify sim cards.
Indeed this is a good effort to minimise the misuse of phone sim cards.
Many Pakistanis who live abroad cannot do so owing to their absence from their home country and may visit Pakistan after the deadline set by the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) for re-verification of SIM cards.
I appeal to the PTA to come up with a proper mechanism for this purpose and make arrangements so that overseas Pakistanis don`t have to lose their severalyear-old sim cards for no fault of theirs.
