LAHORE: Caretaker Punjab government under CM Mohsin Naqvi has achieved another milestone by eradicating corruption in the issuance of arms licenses, making the process available online to ensure transparency.
The provincial Home Department and the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) have signed an agreement for the Punjab Arms License Management System (PALMS). The PALMS portal was formally inaugurated by Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi.

The Chief Minister lauded Home Secretary Mian Shakeel Ahmed and Additional Secretary Home (Judicial) Department Farwa Aamir for their contributions in launching the online portal.
