Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has announced that all vehicles entering Islamabad must be equipped with an electronic tag (E-tag) within the next two weeks. The new regulation, part of heightened security measures following the recent suicide bombing near Islamabad District Courts, aims to tighten surveillance and control entry into the federal capital.
Naqvi warned that after the deadline, no vehicle resident or visitor will be allowed entry without an E-tag. He also directed law enforcement agencies to launch a city-wide operation to identify and deport illegal residents.
“No one will be exempted from this operation,” he stated firmly.
The decision follows a terror attack in G-11, which claimed twelve lives and injured twenty-seven others.
Visiting the blast site, Naqvi assured swift justice, saying,
“We will find out who the attacker was, where he came from, and who sent him. Everyone involved will face justice.”
Officials confirmed that forensic teams are analyzing evidence from the scene. The Prime Minister has directed hospitals to provide the best medical care to victims, while police and intelligence agencies continue investigations to prevent further incidents.
The mandatory E-tag system is expected to improve vehicle monitoring and city security, marking a significant step toward a safer Islamabad.
