ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Brig (r) Ijaz Ahmad Shah on Wednesday briefed Prime Minister Imran Khan on various aspects of his ministry's work, including combatting terrorism, as he presented a 20-month performance report of his ministry and its various departments.
In a meeting, Shah briefed PM Imran on developments in visa policy, terrorism, smuggling, operations against land-grabbing mafia, and the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA).
The interior minister told PM Imran that some 14 high-level committees of experts were formed and would present their recommendations on various issues within a month.
He said that electronic visas were introduced to 175 countries around the world to promote investment and tourism in Pakistan, making it quite convenient to obtain visa to the country.
A comprehensive policy was formulated to eradicate terrorism and a detail strategy prepared and implemented to combat smuggling, Shah added.
At least 70 operations were carried out in Islamabad to recover 15,000 kanals of land — worth about Rs100 billion — from the land-grabbing mafia, the federal minister informed PM Imran.
"NADRA is providing all possible assistance to other state agencies in the national interest," he added.
