Islamabad: The caretaker federal government appointed Lt Gen Muhammad Munir Afsar as National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA ) Chairman on Monday.

Lt Gen Afsar, who is also recipient of Hilal-e-Imtiaz (Military), was promoted to the three-star rank, in October 2022.
Earlier, Asad Rehman had assumed the role of acting chairman of the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) following the resignation of Tariq Malik on June 13.
Tariq Malik was prohibited from traveling internationally after the FIA added his name to the no-fly list.
The FIA and the NAB have both opened proceedings against him, according to the sources. Malik was first appointed Nadra chief in July 2013.
However, he resigned in January 2014. He was once again appointed to lead the authority in June 2021.
