Sindh Governor Inaugurates NADRA Mega Centre in Surjani

Sindh Governor Syed Nihal Hashmi has inaugurated a new NADRA Mega Centre in Karachi’s Surjani area, aimed at improving access to identity registration and documentation services for residents. The facility has been established to provide multiple services under one roof for people living in Surjani and nearby localities, making the process more convenient and accessible.

Inauguration of New NADRA Facility

The inauguration ceremony was held in Surjani, Karachi, where Sindh Governor Syed Nihal Hashmi officially opened the new mega centre. The project is designed to facilitate citizens by providing identity-related services at a single location.

Officials stated that the centre will help reduce the need for residents to travel long distances for NADRA services, improving overall service delivery in the area.

Facilities for Citizens at Mega Centre

According to NADRA officials, the newly established centre includes separate service counters for senior citizens and persons with disabilities. This step has been taken to ensure greater convenience and ease of access for vulnerable groups.

The mega centre has been designed to streamline services and reduce waiting times for applicants visiting the facility.

One-Window Operation System

The centre consists of a total of 20 one-window counters, where multiple services will be provided under a single system. This setup is aimed at improving efficiency and reducing the time required for identity documentation processes.

Officials said the one-window system will help manage public flow more effectively and ensure faster service delivery.

Waiting Area and Public Capacity

The facility also includes a spacious waiting area with seating capacity for around 200 people at a time. This arrangement is intended to accommodate a large number of visitors comfortably during peak hours.

The design of the centre focuses on improving public convenience and reducing overcrowding.

Service Capacity and Daily Operations

NADRA officials said the mega centre will be capable of serving more than 2,000 applicants within a 24-hour period. This high capacity is expected to significantly improve service accessibility for residents of the area.

The centre is designed to handle large-scale public demand efficiently and provide continuous support for identity-related services.

Benefits for Surjani Residents

Officials highlighted that the establishment of the mega centre will benefit millions of residents of Surjani and surrounding areas, offering them access to all NADRA services at one location.

The facility is expected to reduce travel time and make documentation processes more accessible for the local population.

Reduced Need for Travel to Other Offices

It was also stated that the presence of a zonal office within the facility will eliminate the need for citizens to visit the Ayesha Manzil office for related services.

This development is aimed at decentralizing services and improving accessibility for people living in distant areas of Karachi.

Improved Public Service Delivery

The new NADRA Mega Centre is part of efforts to enhance public service delivery infrastructure in Karachi. With modern facilities, increased capacity, and improved accessibility features, the centre is expected to support faster and more efficient identity registration services.

Officials expressed hope that the centre will significantly reduce pressure on existing NADRA offices and improve overall citizen experience.
