NADRA Issues Advisory to Avoid Delays in CNIC Collection

  The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has advised citizens to collect their Computerized National Identity Cards (CNICs) promptly after issuance. NADRA warned that identity cards remaining uncollected for more than three months are disposed of in accordance with policy. Citizens who fail to collect their CNICs must submit a new application and pay the prescribed fee to have the card reissued. Authorities urged applicants to collect their CNICs from the NADRA office as soon as the processing period is complete to avoid inconvenience. In a related advisory, NADRA also asked citizens to cancel the CNICs of deceased family members. The authority advised families to visit the nearest NADRA centre or use the Pak ID mobile app to update their family records

Normality Returns as Nuclear-Armed Neighbours Step Back from the Brink


In a significant de-escalation of tensions, Pakistan and India appear to have pulled back from what many observers feared could have developed into a serious military confrontation between the two nuclear-armed nations. After weeks of heightened alert and concerning rhetoric, both countries have shown restraint and a willingness to return to diplomatic channels.


The most visible sign of this de-escalation has been the resumption of normal civilian activities in border regions, where residents had previously faced evacuation orders and disruptions to daily life. Schools have reopened, transportation networks are functioning at regular capacity, and commercial activities have resumed their usual pace along both sides of the border.


Diplomatic sources indicate that back-channel communications played a crucial role in defusing the immediate crisis. Several international partners reportedly engaged in shuttle diplomacy between Islamabad and New Delhi, emphasizing the catastrophic consequences of any military miscalculation between nuclear powers.


Military analysts note that both nations have scaled back their heightened alert status, with troops and equipment that had been forward-deployed now returning to regular positions. The frequency of ceasefire violations along the Line of Control has significantly decreased, providing much-needed relief to affected communities.


Financial markets in both countries have responded positively to the easing tensions, with stock exchanges recording gains after periods of uncertainty. The business communities in Pakistan and India have welcomed the return to stability, highlighting the economic costs of prolonged hostility.


While fundamental disagreements remain unresolved, this recent de-escalation demonstrates that even during periods of acute crisis, mechanisms exist for Pakistan and India to step back from dangerous confrontation and prioritize regional stability over escalation.
