The Pakistan government has issued a directive under the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication, allowing for the monitoring of phone communications for national security purposes. According to the directive, oversight will be conducted by an officer holding a minimum grade 18 position.
This initiative enables authorized surveillance activities, including the tracing and monitoring of calls and messages. It is part of broader efforts aimed at bolstering national security frameworks, empowering authorities to preemptively detect and mitigate potential threats to public safety.
The implementation of these measures highlights the government’s dedication to enhancing surveillance capabilities, ultimately aimed at fostering peace and security throughout the country.
