Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz Sharif has approved the mandatory installation of e-tags on all vehicles, including motorcycles, across the province and sought a comprehensive micro security plan within seven days. Chairing a high-level meeting on law and order, the chief minister took a series of key security decisions aimed at strengthening surveillance, border monitoring and counter terrorism preparedness.

The chief minister directed authorities to ensure a ban on movement through non-traditional provincial entry points and ordered strict enforcement of restrictions on drones across the province. Installation of searchlights at provincial entry routes and approval for drone surveillance were also granted. She further directed that rooftop security monitoring at checkpoints be ensured and called for immediate steps to procure the latest drone defence systems.
