Lahore: The Lahore Development Authority (LDA), with the help of the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA), on Wednesday unveiled a special counter for the biometric verification of people approaching the government authority for property-related matters, according to news sources.
The special counter was inaugurated by LDA Director General Sumair Ahmad Syed, who conducted his own biometric verification at the event. He took the opportunity to say that this new development would help authenticate the buyers and sellers of all property transactions in real-time. He added that the system would also provide the family tree, and other related details of the relevant parties, so as to eliminate any risk of future disputes.
The DG LDA assured that biometric technology was reliable because of its high identification accuracy and that it could substantially help in preventing fraudulent cases caused by multiple or forged identities.
This
special counter is the first step for all LDA customers. The NADRA officials at
the counter will verify the applicants based on family details, marital status
and other data. In addition, the database will be periodically synchronised
with LDA’s internal system and NADRA will also be charging a verification fee in
order to make the system financially feasible.
