The Social Welfare Department will execute a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for the registration and processing of the Azadi Cards with the National Database & Registration Authority (Nadra) after the approval of the Senior Citizens Council within a month, the chief secretary assured the Sindh High Court (SHC) on Wednesday.
Hearing a petition seeking the enforcement of a law under which the elderly will get a 25 per cent concession in medical treatment at private hospitals, an SHC division bench headed by Justice Mohammad Ali Mazhar asked the CS about compliance with the court’s directives with regard to the issuance of the health cards.
