The federal government has taken strong security measures in Islamabad after a deadly suicide blast near the Judicial Complex. Under the new rules announced, all vehicles entering the capital must have a mandatory electronic vehicle tag (E-tag).
The policy was announced by the Minister of State for Interior Senator Talal Chaudhry, joined by Islamabad Police Inspector General (IG) Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi and the deputy commissioner in a news conference outside the Parliament House on Thursday.
Chaudhry said the E-tag system would monitor vehicle movement and strengthen overall city security. “No vehicle will be allowed entry into the federal capital without an E-tag,” he added.
Meanwhile, the government is starting a “Secure Neighbourhood Survey", the first of its kind. During this, comprehensive data regarding residents, workers, and households in Islamabad will be collected.
Chaudhry said this was aimed at giving the authorities clear knowledge of who resides or works in every house, shop, and office.
The new measures come as part of the Greater Islamabad move to enhance the security infrastructure, vehicle tracking, data compilation, and emergency preparedness.
It is thus enjoined that all residents and office-goers get their E-tags at the earliest possible opportunity. The authorities maintain that the survey will be systematic and will cover each major sector and locality.
