LAHORE: Local Taliban have warned women against going to the office of the NADRA and getting identity cards, BBC Urdu reported. Around 200 women from the region had recently submitted forms for computerised identity cards, which they require to benefit from the Benazir Income Support Programme. Women going to NADRA offices or coeducation schools would be punished in line with the sharia, the BBC quoted a pamphlet by the Hafiz Gul Bahar group as saying.
