LAHORE (Web Desk) – The Government of Punjab has purchased five thousand tracking chips in a bid to monitor movement of suspects placed under Fourth Schedule of Anti-terrorism Act, 1997.
In the first phase, the provincial government has decided to install tracking chips in the feet of at least 800 suspects.
According to sources, the chips have been imported from United States, Turkey and Switzerland.
The Fourth Schedule lists all the known suspects belonging to banned militant or sectarian organisations, who by their disposition could pose a threat to public peace and security.
Such suspects give an affidavit to the government that they would no more be associated with any such organisation in future or engage in any criminal activity.
