Rawalpindi: A new security advisory has been issued to all corps headquarters of Pakistan on the directive of army chief Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani following the militant attack on the General Headquarters (GHQ) here on Saturday.
Military sources told Online news agency that it was laid down in the circular, addressed to all division and brigade commanders, that security staff should not show any negligence or slackness in their duties.
Security has also been beefed up at all corps headquarters and military installations.
As per new security advisory, people’s entry has been banned around military installations and it has been made binding on all serving officers, soldiers and employees to comply with the security advisory with respect to their identification.
Directives have been issued to all corps headquarters to computerize the identification system of all the soldiers and staff working in the offices so that a system was put in place for immediate identification of militants if they attack any other important building like the GHQ in army uniforms, as had happened during the Saturday attack.
Security agencies would collect the data of all people living in cantonments. The military leadership has also finally decided to gear up the pace of shifting the GHQ to Islamabad.
Construction work on the new GHQ was suspended and the army chief would soon make an announcement on re-starting this.
