| The government has tightened security at the country’s 1,452 strategic sites, declaring them ‘most sensitive’. The sites include key nuclear installations, airports and ports, sources told Daily Times on Wednesday. The sources said that a team of experts headed by Interior Ministry Joint Secretary (Security) Khizar Hayat had been tasked to visit these sites and review their security arrangements. The team includes two members from two intelligence agencies, the sources said, adding that security at the sites was being increased in view of the recent wave of sabotage and terrorism. The sources said that more than three members of the team visited the Karachi Nuclear Power Station, Port Qasim, Karachi Airport, Security Printing Press and Security Paper Mills last week, adding that the team would visit other ‘most sensitive’ sites in the next few months. Khizar Hayat was not available for comment. |
