SOUTH WAZIRISTAN: Issuance of e-domicile has become a headache for youth and women in Wana, Lower South Waziristan District.
Citizens have demanded the provincial government of Kkyber Pakhtunkhowa to cancel and remove the condition of B Form for e-domicile.
On March 21, 2024 the district administration South Waziristan Lower had started creating e-domicile for the convenience of the people on the instructions of the provincial government of Khyber Pakhtunkhowa and home department KP, However, unfortunately, instead of facilitating the people, e-domicile has added to the difficulties.
According to the report, the government of Khyber Pakhtunkhowa has made B Form mandatory for creating e-domicile online, while at the same time, domicile has been declared mandatory for making an identity card.
Said in the report, that at this time domicile cannot be issued without B Form, and B Form cannot be made for people above 18 years of age.
However, due to this, obtaining domicile, B Form and identity card has become a headache for common people.
It is worth mentioning here that the local tribes are not only facing difficulties in going to foreign countries Dubai and Qatar for purpose of works or abroad for performing Umrah.
Rather, the students admitted in schools and colleges are facing severe difficulties, while common people including students have to visit the franchise or assistant commissioner’s office once a day but go back to their homes without working.
On the other hand, e-faciliteis in-charge Farid Wazir told media that the Khyber Pakhtunkhowa government had announced on March 21 to provide the facility of creating e-domicile online for the convenience of the people.
He said now, becoming a reverse domicile has become a nightmare for the citizens of Waziristan.
He said that most of the men and women here do not have B Form and B Form cannot be made for youths above 18 years of age.
The local youth demanded the provincial government that either the requirement of domicile for making an ID card should be removed or the condition of B Form for domicile should be removed, so that this issue is resolved.
Said the youth that at present time thousands of youth of Wana, Waziristan are facing severe difficulties in making their documents.
They said, due to not getting the domicile, B Form and identity card on time, they are stuck in trouble.
Assistant Commissioner Wana Faisal Ismail said in this regard that the district administration has received many complaints about e-domicile and with this issue, the administration has informed the Home Department of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa that people are facing these difficulties in e-domicile.
AC said that the policy of becoming an online e-domicile has been made by the KP Government and Home Department KP, but the district administration is only verification it.
AC added after receiving more complaints from the people, I will send a letter to the Home Department soon to resolve the issue.
Local tribes and youth appealed to Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Chief Secretary KP to take notice of this issue, so that the e-domicile issue of youth and especially women can be solved permanently.
