The federal cabinet on Monday approved the appointment of Lieutenant General Munir Afsar as the new chairman of the National Database and Registration Authority, according to the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO).
Gen Afsar was among the 12 major generals who were promoted to the rank of lieutenant general in October 2022.
He takes over the position of chairman from Asad Rehman Gilani who assumed the charge in June after Tariq Malik resigned from the office.
Lieutenant General Afsar brings a wealth of experience in IT-related technological development and management from his tenure in the Pakistan Army and the United Nations Mission.
He holds an MPhil in Public Policy and National Security Management and has authored a research paper on public policy responses within the GIS sector during the 2010 floods.
