I have tried to have three phone SIMs biometrically verified at their franchises in F-10 and F-11 but the machines at these places could not read my fingerprints. Besides, I wasted six hours as I had to stand in long queues waiting for my turn.
I also wrote to the Nadra chairman but got no response. I am sure mine is not the only case in the millions of mobile users in Pakistan. But the point is that the media has not highlighted such hardships so far.
