Previously, the PLRA was offering fard issuance services to the cases involving bails and that too to those who secured appointments in advance. However, now the express counters will provide Fard issuance services and mutations of all kinds for some additional charges.
The PLRA spokesperson has confirmed the resuming of operations and that the visitors will have to comply with all the precautionary measures implemented at the ARCs — as communicated by the federal and provincial governments.
