The Punjab government has approved the mandatory installation of E-Tag on all vehicles, including motorcycles, across the province as part of strengthened security measures. Authorities have also been instructed to prepare and submit a comprehensive micro-security plan within seven days to enhance monitoring and law enforcement effectiveness.
The decision was taken during a high-level law and order meeting chaired by Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz. The meeting focused on improving surveillance systems, tightening border controls, and reinforcing counterterrorism strategies to ensure public safety.
Officials approved the establishment of a Punjab Cyber Crime Investigation Unit along with the appointment of its head. A specialized cell will be created to address cybercrime cases involving women and girls, while district-level online crime centers will be set up to improve coordination and response time to digital threats.
The chief minister directed strict enforcement of restrictions on movement through unauthorized provincial entry points and ordered stronger implementation of drone monitoring regulations. Authorities also approved installing searchlights at key entry routes, expanding drone surveillance, and enhancing rooftop security at checkpoints. Steps will be taken to acquire advanced drone detection and defense systems to counter potential aerial threats.
Emphasizing proactive policing, CM Maryam Nawaz instructed continuous combing operations against criminal and terrorist elements. She also directed that the RMP Anti-Riots Force receive modern training and advanced equipment for effective crowd management.
During the meeting, she appreciated religious scholars for promoting peace and acknowledged the efforts of provincial authorities and police in maintaining law and order across Punjab.
