ISLAMABAD: The sub-committee of Public Accounts Committee (PAC) Monday directed the interior secretary to investigate the record of missing licenses of weapons and submit the report in one month. Replying to the audit observation, the secretary interior said the ministry had issued total 71,727 arms licenses instead of 88,838 during the period of March 2008 to June 2009. He said the record was misplaced because of the same reason, however, the ministry was making all efforts to reconcile the record. He said the system had been digitalised and the record of arms licenses was being maintained properly and no such anomaly was reported after that. He asked to initiate an inquiry of the then secretary interior Chaudhry Qamar Zaman.
