Pak authorities unveil elaborate security plans for safety of endangered NATO containers

Lahore, July 13 (ANI): Pakistan's Ministry of Interior has assigned duties to the police, Rangers and other law enforcement agencies at various points to ensure the safe transport of NATO containers from Karachi to the Pak-Afghan border, under an elaborate security plan amid a volatile security situation.

The mega security plan has been forwarded to provincial home departments, provincial police chiefs and provincial heads of other LEAs, such as the Frontier Constabulary (FC), for implementation, reports The Express Tribune.

The plan has been prepared in view of continuous threats by militant groups such as the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), as well as intelligence agencies' reports, which revealed that some recent NATO convoys had been attacked.

Furthermore, the federal government has directed the National Logistic Cell and the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) to ensure the systematic clearance of containers, while the interior ministry has instructed the director general of the Federal Investigation Agency to ensure complete coordination with the FBR.
