Under the Chief Minister’s directive, the Chief Secretary and the Inspector General of Sindh Police are to guarantee strict adherence to the policy.
The warning states that the agency would take action if employees continue to upload images and videos taken from government buildings, vehicles, and while wearing official uniforms.
